Farmer J bundles up and heads out to the pasture to check on Aoife every few hours. She could deliver at any moment. Tomorrow would be ideal...or Monday morning or Wednesday! HA...like you can schedule a lamb birth! The boys have seen plenty of lambs being born so they could take or leave another lamb birth experience but J and I love to be there for the event. So far, during this lamb season, I have yet to witness the amazingly surreal process. Maybe this time!
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.

Still no lambs..
I asked Aoife to wait until this cold, Artic weather has passed before she had her lambs...and so far, so good! The sheep rarely seem bothered by the cold, which may have something to do with their inches deep wool coat! But lambs do not like the cold and it's unhealthy for them to be born in such harsh weather.
