April Showers

The weather has turned into a rainy reality. It has successfully melted all the snow patches in the open areas and almost all the snow in the woodland. It’s so refreshing to have warm air to breathe in and a hope to get into the garden soon. The pasture grass is beginning to green and rhurbarb is emerging.

The lambing to date has gone very well. We have six more ewes to lamb. The flock is blended with the ewes and lambs. We’ve had the ewes with lambs in jugs for at least three days each and there hasn’t been any pressure to move them out quicker to accomodate another ewe. Last week we had four deliveries, one day after the other. How civilized.
