Oh these are the best photos! The babies are just to precious. Thank you so much for sharing them. It is always such a treat to read your blog and see your pictures - how can you not feel such joy when you see these babies?
ReplyDeleteHow is Friendly doing? I'm rooting for her!
Cute babies, can't wait to see the rest! :)
ReplyDeleteFried chicken and cornbread, YUM!!
LOVE these pics! I can't wait for us to get goats out here, and for now I will live vicariously through your sheep :)
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I don't know how you stand it. I feel like i need insulin from the sweetness of these photos. I would be hopelessly in love and want to tuck every one of these little angels into a long row of dog beds in my house. I'd be a disaster. (Of course, the last time i visited an animal shelter, I left with the entire death row of 13 dogs.) Love seeing these pictures ad how differently marked each lamb is.

Good for you, Tracy! I would if I could. I have 16 cats at present--and one dog. 6 cats are outside and 10 are in the house. Yes--it is a bit wild--but never dull!
DeleteSWEET!
ReplyDeleteI see some gorgeous wool if I were a spinner and not just a knitter!
ReplyDeleteOur goat season is coming up - love the babies!!

Such beautiful lamb babies. Do they maintain their color when they grow up? Would make such interesting fleeces/yarn. Yes, I am a spinner. What do you do with the fleeces when they are sheared??
ReplyDeleteIf you don't have enough kisses to go around to all these precious little lambs, please call me.
ReplyDeleteHow do you stand all the cuteness? Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog. Thanks for sharing. I grew up on a farm with chickens and pigs. Nothing cute to write about. How lucky are you?
ReplyDeleteBaa! Baa! Black Sheep, have you any wool??? What precious lambs! Wish I could hug 'em!!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! If I had the money and a place to put them, I would give you however much you wanted for the top 2 lambs, they are the cutest things I have ever seen, esp the white one! I bet you get a lot of offers to buy these babies (and not for chops!)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the eye candy,
Nancy
