© FarmgirlFare.com, where we're all safe and sound after last night's crazy rain/thunder/hail/wind storm—which started just as I was about to head down to the barn for a 2am lamb check. Thankfully no tornadoes. Thanks to all of you who have kindly been asking if we're okay.
How cute! And even the dog was bathing the baby!

Very precious. You guys must be busier than a cat covering a hardwood floor as my Mom used to say!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you and your "brood" are safe. We thought about all of you in the midst of all that mayhem.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy that you are all safe.

Awwwww I remember feeding lambs for my landlord many years ago ... they sure knew what to do with the food source!!
ReplyDeleteThese are just adorable. I love the way that the dog is getting involved and looks to be taking on the role of the great protector - lovely!
ReplyDeleteAlright! No tornadoes and lots of lambs. Excellent news by all measures.
ReplyDeleteHow precious are the lambs....So glad Mother Nature didn't interfere with the birthings...What a busy, busy time for you, but also a very special time. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHappy to hear everyone's safe, and that all baby lambs are healthy. And cute, cute, cute. Thanks for all the nice photos.
ReplyDeleteSweet baby pictures! Glad you guys missed the worst of the nasty weather! Yikes!!
ReplyDeleteOh my.. so cute little ones. :)
ReplyDeleteHow do you stand so much cuteness?!
ReplyDeleteYour dogs are AWESOME (I'm sure you already know this), and it is obvious they KNOW their jobs. I imagine they must feel an increased sense of duty and uncle/auntie-like pride this time of year. This batch of pictures are especially cute!
ReplyDeleteJust adorable!
