waiting, waiting


Callie still has not dropped her lambs. The past two nights have dropped down into single digits, and so I have been up and down checking on her throughout the night to make sure she was fine. She looks so uncomfortable.

The wee lambs are doing well. Just beginning to jump around and wiggle, which is just so fun to see. I am smiling more these days. It's pretty impossible to feel sad when you're holding a two pound bundle of wool with a little beating heart inside.

The rest of the flock is doing well and adjusting to having Bill back in their space. He was really a nuisance  for the first day or two, and he is still a typical ram - not sure why I expect that he will behave any other way. He will need to go eventually, since there are no more ewes for him to breed. So, I will be looking around for a new home for him and hopefully will find him a family of ewes to stay with. He's a proven ram now and doubt I will have a tough time placing him.
