spring is headed our way!



what's in there??? (notice that wide load!)

i'm too big to peek over...what did you see????


a little black lamb...


and his mama staring back at me!

this is peppermints second year of lambing. she had a black lamb last year on the spring equinox. so, having lambs on january 12 threw us for a loop. she had twins, the other black as well, with white markings, but he was born outside in single digit weather and froze to death. if i had known she was going to lamb so early this year, i would have been more watchful. so far, none of the other ewes have shown any sign of lambing.

  1. Awww...my last ewe has shown no signs yet, but she had one this time last year in the bitter cold.
