The sun is going down on this frigid day. Last time I looked at the temperature outside...7! Where did my good friend, El Niño run off too! Come back!
This weekend, Farmer J put heat lamps and the water bucket warmer in the mini-barn.
We could have a winter lamb born any day. Una, who will be two in March, may be pregnant! Una is Aoife and Ace's daughter and a 100% Tunis Ewe. J thinks she looks wider than our ram man, Duncan. But...wool can be deceiving. There are pictures of Aoife, Ace and Una (as a baby lamb) under "The Animals" tab.
I'm hoping, for all our sakes, no lamb will be born until this cold snap is over. The mini-barn is "warmer" than outside and protects the animals from the wind but it is not insulated, and really not "warm."
On the bright side, the sun was out today and sunset was at 4:40!!!!! Seconds by seconds, the light is crushing the darkness!
