As we're lambing and enjoying the new life along with the frustrations that brings, here is a funny posted to Facebook:

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)
