Feeling a little frisky

It's that time of year for us.

Each May our ewes start having new lambs.

They are the epitome of cute!

I dare you to disagree.

Unless they have a distinct mark on them, it's hard to tell them apart from the others, and to give them a name. But we try when we can.

We do have one who was born to a ewe we named Licorice because she had black lips.  The new lamb was born with black lips too.

Adorable.

The pasture where we keep the lambs is so peaceful.

We have four more ewes to have babies.  So far, we have a set of triplets, 3 sets of twins, and a single lamb.

I love May.

My last 7 pins

First of all...HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL THE MOTHERS!

I've had a good day so far, and I've had some quiet time to get crafty, and just watch some movies...it's been refreshing.

I wanted to share my last 7 pins on Pinterest.com, varied as they are.

One made me laugh out loud...

(cause we have a cat who would do this...)

one gave me a good idea for a craft.

One reminded me of the flowers my husband brought back for me when he went to check on our sheep at another pasture...they are wafting their sweet aroma all through the house (and they are some of my favorites)

One is a project I'd like to make for Grace since EVERY pair of shorts for a teenage girl are inappropriately short!

One is a supper I might make this week...(website listed at the bottom of the picture)

And the last two...things I think, "Duh, why didn't I think of these sooner?"

(foam board covered with shelf paper to put on wire shelving)

 (baby oil to shave with to make your legs smoother, get a closer shave, and help your razor to last longer.)

Now, all these pins aren't extraordinary to everyone, but they mean something to me.

Go out and pin something for yourself!

A little of this and a little of that

I usually always upload my camera and "clear" it out after each event that I'm taking pictures for.  It makes it easier.

I used to carry my point and shoot camera around in my purse, which made it so much more convenient to take pictures, but now that I have a bigger camera with a large lens, I don't carry it with me anymore.

I LOVE my new camera, but it's big.

This afternoon I decided to upload what I had on the camera.  I had 87 pictures.  Ugh.

So, here are some snippets of our life from the last 5 months.

We've had:

2 birthdays
a late season snow
the start of jr. high track
a field trip to Chicago
4-H pigs
warm open window weather
pets
AND
a new trampoline so generously purchased by my parents

It's been busy, but good!
