Thanks so much for your thoughts and prayers regarding our overflowing creek and flooding farm. The short version is that everyone in the farmyard and barnyard is doing okay, including the new baby lamb.More below. . .
Nothing stays the same on a farm, and yet there are some things that never change. From year to year, we find a comforting rhythm: little lambs in early spring, juicy heirloom tomatoes in summer, beautiful color in fall, feeding hay in winter, and most of our snow in February.
The storms just keep coming. At least today's three inches of snow covered up all the treacherous ice.
Don't get me wrong; I really do love winter.
This photo is from one year ago today (when our beloved wet weather creek was running), but it could have easily been taken this afternoon—except for the lack of blood.
I carry my camera with me everywhere around the farm and snap thousands of photos each year, most of which never make it up on these pages. This is part two of a random assortment of personal favorites still sitting in my 2010 monthly 'to post' files, shown in the order they were taken. You can find Part One here. Part three will be devoted to that cute overload known as spring lambing season. Farewell 2010!
