Society 5
The August meeting of
Lancaster County Farm
Women Society 5 was held m
the Blue Mountains, at the
There is a new arrival in the sheep flock on the
Borry farm and its name is Moped A five month
old lamb that promises to be a beauty, from the
moment the animal walked onto the place she had
control of the entire operation
You see, Moped has one slight problem, if you
can call it that She has decided that she prefers
human company to that of the four legged
creatures
She would rather go for a walk with me than
sleep under the shade trees with her woolie
buddies She prefers the grass in the yard where
she can see the occupants of the house over that
m the pasture
When she feels that she has been neglected for
far too long she comes to the gate, sticks her head
through, and voices her complaints loudly and
continuously Unfortunately, this has not en
deared her to some of the family members
She earned her name Moped because she is all
movement She doesn’t walk, she bounds from
one spot to another with great energy Afraid to
miss anything that happens on the place, she
rushes about checking to make sure that
everything is going as it should She may be the
new animal in the flock but she is sure that she can
manage everything on the 50 acres better than all
others Already she leads the pack
, The only way to get her attention off ‘bossing the
world' is to rattle the feed bucket Then she flies to
her pen from wherever she is, with her ears
flopping the whole way And as long as there is
grain in her dish, peace rules
But as soon as she is done eating, the newest
overseer will be back checking on life on the farm,
and making sure that those humans are doing
their work
