My cousin and husband have an amazing farm in Lebanon, MO. They raise many kinds of farm animals. One of the tasks required is to move the sheep from one pasture to another to sustain the grass. I was taken with this image of the sheep slowly wending their way to their new home. It had been raining and a shallow creek sprang up. Sheep don’t like to get their feet wet so several enterprising sheep decided to try jumping the water.  Alas, they were not able to clear the wide stretch of water and ended up wet anyway. These four tried a group effort but without success. Fortunately the warm day quickly dried their wet feet.
