FARM UPDATE - MORE NEWS YOU CAN'T USE FOR ANYTHING REALLY

Hello all Farm Watchers,

     It's raining here in Virginia - again.  I guess we need it (or not).  Here's the latest:

 EASTER

     Easter means Easter Bunnies and lambs.  We had both.  I publicly humiliated myself at Church although Aida was her cute sweet self.  The kids had a blast.

SHEARING DAY  

  Saturday was shearing day at the farm.  Rounding everyone up was no easy task.  Plenty of complaints all around - before and after.  I have a hard time identifying my own sheep after this event - you can imagine what the lambs went through finding their moms.

UPDATE ON BOTTLE BABY

Aida is doing great and she has managed to find a sometime substitute for mom.  I have observed her nursing Hannah and Hannah doesn't seem to care.  Of course her twin lambs are not happy about it.  Good for Aida.  Mom  continues to allow her to hang out with her sisters and she sleeps with them each night.

BABY ALERT!

It turns out that Suzannah - my miniature cheviot is pregnant.  This will be my first from her and Zach.  I'm thinking within 2 weeks.  Stay tuned.
