This is, indeed, an amazing time of the year on the farm--no matter how many years have gone by and how many lambs have been born.<BR/><BR/>I would also like to offer a warm <B>Welcome!</B> to those of you who are new visitors and/or new commenters. It's wonderful to hear from you.<BR/><BR/>Lynne,<BR/>That book sounds delightful. I will definitnely have to see if I can track down a copy. Thanks for telling me about it.<BR/><BR/>Jeff,<BR/>Lindy beat me to it, but yep, chickens do have twins--in the form of double yolkers. I've never seen twins hatch, but it's always a neat surprise to crack open an egg and have two yolks. They are getting quite rare and I'm sure are banned from commercially sold eggs. If someone found one in their supermarket carton they would probably freak out, thinking it was some kind of mutant GMO Frankenegg rather than a special treat. : )<BR/><BR/>Shannon,<BR/>I don't think I'm up for any naming contests in the near future (and how could anything possibly top <A HREF="http://foodiefarmgirl.blogspot.com/2005/10/at-last-we-have-winner.html" REL="nofollow"><B>the last one?</B></A>), but I will be announcing something having to do with naming (and everyone's participation) <A HREF="http://foodiefarmgirl.blogspot.com/2005/07/when-soon.html" REL="nofollow"><B>very soon.</B></A><BR/><BR/>Baking Soda,<BR/>You have twins? Neat. And yes, your son was right--well, at least as far as how things are done on this farm. I always have a bath towel or two down at the barn during lambing season. I use them to help clean up the newborn lambs if they are dirty (because the mother gave birth in a pile of leaves or whatever) or if the mother is extra busy (say, trying to clean up twins) and they need to get dried off a bit faster because they are cold. So, while I don't actually wrap the lambs up in towels, they definitely play a part! : )<BR/><BR/>Vickie,<BR/>Despite what Jeff (the king of bad puns, etc. himself) thinks (*grin*), I think the term Lambma is so cute--and I've never heard it before. Joe has now started calling me that.<BR/><BR/>And you said you stopped leaving comments because you couldn't think of anything clever to say. Ha. You are always cracking me up. : )<BR/><BR/><B>Again, thank you all so much for taking the time to write.</B>Farmgirl Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04851855517852917202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-1140848806259681842006-02-25T00:26:00.000-06:002006-02-25T00:26:00.000-06:00Adorable!

If you have a moment one of these days when life is not quite so crazy, you should read, "The Dogs of Bedlam Farm" by Jon Katz -- non-fiction about a guy that owns border collies and buys a sheep farm in upstate New York so they have something to herd (now there is real dedication to your dogs!!). Anyway -- he's got some great descriptions of lambing season -- which of course happens just during the coldest days of winter. I think you'd really appreciate it!<BR/><BR/>Congratulations! Let the naming begin!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
