A blissful afternoon

While St. George and I played checkers on the front porch, Rose tied up Edison. It was Edison's idea. Each time Rose would wrap the rope around him, Molly would grab the end and pull it tight and then give the end back to Rose to wrap around again.

Molly is good with ropes and knots. Every rope is an opportunity to play tug-of-war.

After a full day, Molly herded the chickens back into the coop (much to elation of Rose, who did not have to coax and carry them in by herself). Molly is a natural shepherd. No barking, nipping or chasing, she did it the right way. Calmly, quietly and firmly, she put those biddies to bed.
