You won't be seeing this in 2007
Oh, there'll be bouncing baby lambs of course. In fact, if all goes well there may be as many as 50 of them racing around here by the end of April. What have I gotten us into?
What there won't be, though, are big woolly mamas, because The Plan this year is to shear the sheep before lambing season starts.

My Name Is Rose!
Can I Go Play Now?It's hard to believe that it's already been three weeks since this little darling was born. And because she was the first ewe lamb to arrive this year, that means she is the "prize" I donated back in December to the wildly successful Menu For Hope Campaign--a little lamb to call your own. Winner Jennifer New and her family are the proud honorary owners of--well, you heard her--Rose. This lovely name was chosen by Jennifer's daughter, who took no time at all in coming up with it. It just took me a while to get around to making the announcement. Meanwhile, Rose has been growing by leaps and bounds, and is thrilled that she now has three little playmates.
Thanks again to everyone who contributed to the Menu For Hope. Because of your generous support, we were able to raise over $17,000 for the victims of the devastating earthquake in the Kashmir region of India and Pakistan. And for those of you who were hoping that little Rose would be yours, well, we always seem to be acquiring new critters, and you never know what I'll come up with next. Right now I'm (impatiently) waiting for 23 more sheep to have their babies. I have no idea what they are all waiting for.
As far as names for all the other 2006 ewe lambs (of which there is only one so far), you'll just have to wait and see.
