The welcoming committee

They are always happy to see me. Probably because they know I am the one with the feed bucket, but I don't feed this herd in the warmer months. They don't need grain, just heats them up, and they have grass, what sheep are made to eat. Most of them like to be petted or scratched, but all of them come to see me. When I come around the curve in the road they somehow know it's my truck and run to the gate. I have a new truck and at first I could sneak up on them, it took about a week and they recognized the sound of it. There is a lot of traffic on that road, but they know the sound of their shepherd's truck.
