New Zealand Sabbatical

We have a nice 3 bedroom house in a residential area. The empy lot across the street contains a small flock of sheep. Notice them over Dianne’s left shoulder in this picture. We should have expected this as the sheep outnumber people 7 to 1 just as in Iowa where pigs outnumber people 7 to 1 (Thank you, Darrell Jebsen, for that factoid). These unassuming neighbors “baa” when Dianne passes but pretty much ignore me demonstating their appreciation of beauty.
