Red is tough on sheep but a sweetheart with people. He loves to hang out with Ajay and Ben.  Ajay is excavating the network of beautiful old slate stones and pathways that surround the house and have been buried for years under sod and grass. He’s found three more and is digging them out. The stone is beautiful and a great thing to see come alive.

We are eager to see what else Ajay digs up. A farmer friend told me that slate walkways were a sign of affluence in the mid 1800’s, not to mention a respite from all the mud and manure.
