A Spring Ramble

Gonna see what we can find today...

 

 

.....

 

Darling, stupid Ingrid. 

 

She has a habit of sticking her head through the fence and getting it stuck. 

 

Just now I heard her baaing.  So, I had to pull on my boots and coat, grab my flashlight (and bear spray, just in case) search unsuccessfully for the wire cutters in the garage, grab a hacksaw instead, and walk outside in the cold to get her unstuck.  Thankfully, I didn't have to use the hacksaw.

 

Oh, and the hacksaw was for cutting through the wire, not sawing off Ingy's head.

I wasn't that desperate;)

 

.....

 

Dear, sweet Calvin.  He absolutely adores me.  I have no idea why, but he does.  He follows me around like a dog and wags his tail when I pet him.

 

And no, he is not a goat.  Calvin is a Barbados Blackbelly sheep.

Two of the expectant mothers - Lady Jane and Sweet Pea, with Ingrid standing.

 

And the lambing pen - cozy, isn't it?:)

 

I have a light clamped to the rafter this year, so I won't have to try and handle lambs while holding a flashlight.   That doesn't work very well...

Meet the boys...

 

Dewey, my brother's horse.

 

Freckles, my mom's pony - he thought I was going to give him a treat;)

 

And last, but definitely not least...

 

Bob, my handsome, albeit somewhat muddy, prince charming.

 

 

.....

 

Logs from our property, waiting to be transformed into a log cabin someday.

 

The view from the upper sheep pasture.

 

.....

 

Having fun with our old pick-up truck...

Happy Trails!
