As we're lambing and enjoying the new life along with the frustrations that brings, here is a funny posted to Facebook:
(I can't find the attribution, so let me know if you have it and I'll post it!)
What a great way to start the day! Got the lambs and guard puppies fed
and the newborns are all looking spry and mamas content. The claimed
lambs were all sleeping in a row in our shelter when I went in and it
was adorable. Came outside to find a spectacular sunrise reflected by
the edges of a ragged cloud, shading from darker oranges to golds as the
sun showed its face through the silhouette of a nearby volunteer tree.
Meanwhile the wind soughed through the budding tree branches and flapped
our tarp. Just had to sing the doxology and a couple verses of a
favourite hymn, and had a supporting chorus of bleats and baas nearby
and actually was able to keep a tune with my scratchy voice. ;o) (might
have been critiques from the audience too - still haven't taken Sheepish
101)
