I had to make a hard, well, it wasn't hard...a sad call on Petunia today and here I sit trying to decide what I want to say about one of the very best sheep ever.
I thought I knew what picture I wanted for this post, but as I scrolled through all the old blog posts looking for it, it became one of the nicest trips down memory lane and I could have easily pulled out 20 favorite pictures.
Her "Mug Shot"
She'd been here so long that I'd almost forgotten some of her stories. I'd forgotten how she stepped up as lead ewe after Elizabeth had died. I'd forgotten how she was one of the main chicken sheep who helped the old hen get to her favorite high perch each night.
I remembered how much she enjoyed wearing the flowers for the 2012 Tour de Fleece. I knew that she would be happy to wear the bell because of how she acted with the flowers. I don't think she thought she was special, but she understood special and humbly accepted it...like any great leader.
