Maggie and I were fortunate tonight to see twin lambs less than an hour old. I have never been witness to seeing lambs so new.
How amazing to watch the mother, Shy, let them stand on their own four feet, stumble, fall and get up again with their little tails swishing back and forth. The male seemed to be tired and he piled up on the hay while the little feisty girl wanted to eat. Believe you me, it was well worth crossing the electric fence in the rain and trudging through the mud and muck to the 'sheep shed' to see a Spring miracle.
Thanks to Andrew Price for letting us come and see the newest of his livestock. Now, I'm wondering just what he will name them. There were several name suggestions from his mom-Georgeanne, his dad-Jack, Maggie, and of course, me. I'm sure Andrew will do just fine naming them and tending to his growing flock.
Hmmmm, I wonder if he'll name one after me?
