silly


sophie hosts more finds, and here is what needled me up here - ‘one sheep follows another’, and ‘even counted sheep are eaten by the woolf’ (ha ha). or else : ‘silly sheep. where one goes, all go’. yes. i definitely prefer the last proverb. in this typically lowland setting, the herder is leading his sheep somewhere else, one would wonder. of course, you are missing out on the whole picture. i bet you’d like to know what happens in the upper right hand corner… tableau found. in for a penny, in for a pound.

  1. Wow - I ma always impressed with that kind of stitchery - so neat! I have a farmer friend who contends that sheep spend their time thinking up ways to die as he is always rescuing them from one silly situation or another!
