Still "no babies" (as Pickle lovingly refers to the unborn lambs). Pickle has probably gone from the house to the barn (in this single digit degree freezing weather) almost every hour or two to check on Aoife and see if there were any slimy, wet, new creatures in the barn. He might have even taken more trips to the barn than his Dada! I think Pick Pick is more excited for the lambs' birth than he was for Santa's arrival on Christmas Eve.
Farmer J has been on more poop clean-up this afternoon and evening, ensuring a cleaner pathway for the wee little wool ones.
Sadly, all of us will be gone from the farm tomorrow due to busy work and school schedules. We may arrive home to find more animals in our fur-family!
Stay tuned...
Trying out something new. A new way of living. A more simple life. One farmer. One farmer's wife. Two boys. Two rams. Six ewes. Two goats. Two pigs. Three rescue kittens. Nine hens. Two bee hives. Room to roam. Room to get dirty. Room to grow in mid-west soil. A wary farm wife because this is a new life for our family. But God is good and so are fresh eggs.
