First Lamb of the Year

I can’t begin to express the change in mood around here after a day of sunny, relatively warm weather! A few friends came over and helped me in the garden, cleaning up my sadly neglected asparagus beds and hauling several back-breaking loads of manure from the barn to the garden. We even got a bed mostly ready for peas (I’ll bring some manure down for it today) and got a decent load of firewood split and in the house. Fantastic! I paid out a few moopons, our farm currency.

Callie and her lamb---the first of the season

The first lamb of the season was born yesterday—a Cotswold/Icelandic cross. She’s delightfully sturdy and vigorous, with beautiful loose curls, and a short tail—no tail docking for her!

    Glad you had a good weekend…finally! And I feel like a counterfeiter what with the Moopon copies I’ve been making. I’ve got a good prototype ready to go into production whenever y’uns get the paper you’d like :)
