Spring Lambs


I went out to feed the last Friday morning and was met by a wonderful sight.
I hope I never get over the feeling of seeing a new lamb.
She was a single ewe born to one of the Mickle ewes.
She is so tiny and yet so fully formed and on her feet so quickly to nurse and follow her mom.
I like to watch the other lambs treat her with curiosity and also with care.
As she gets days older she will begin to play with the older lambs.
They will let her butt them in the face and will gently rub her face in return.  
She is the beginning of the spring lambs.
I have 6 more ewes to lamb. 
I expect between 6 and 11 more lambs.
And that is if I don't have any more triplets! "Heaven forbid!"
