Author’s Note
Down on the highway between the little valley we live in and the next valley down the mountain on a ridge overlooking the river, there stands a little old sheep herder’s trailer with a sign draped across it that says, “Nightly Rentals”. Now, I’m sure someone put the sign on it as a joke, but to me, it was absolutely thought provoking. Sometimes, when that centrifugal force of life makes you start feeling like your just about to go winging off, wouldn’t that life of a sheepherder be amazing?
Except for the mice. If they just weren’t so dang fast maybe they wouldn’t be so scary. Thank goodness for husbands, Jaclyn
