Not Reading or Writing
I went to the movie today. A very rare occurrence for me. But the documentary "Sweetgrass" was playing at the Myrna (Myrna Loy Theater of the Arts). I had wanted to see this since viewing the trailer several months ago.
It's contemporary history, actually, about the last major sheep herd to be driven into the mountains for summer graze, a practice which, until 2003, had been going on since the nineteenth century. Another "era" gone; I don't lament it, merely note it. It was filmed here in Montana. Spectacular scenery (of course)!
My interest in the documentary was heightened, since I'd just spent four weeks caring for a neighbor's small flock of Shetland sheep--12 adults and five lambs. (Nothing compared to the 500 + in the documentary.) I also live near the large sections where the Sieben ranch winters their sheep.
