Spring Flower


Well now. We are STILL waiting for poor Acorn to lamb. This is how she's looking these days:



Poor thing. I mean, how much longer is this going to take????

While we were keeping watch on Acorn, waking early, midnight barn checking, wily old matriarch, Copper, decided to go ahead and get the lambing over with.

In between the frequent checks, she birthed herself a nice little ewe lamb.



The kids have named her Flower.

Acorn is huuuuge! Wow. Hope she lambs soon.

Wow. Acorn looks like she's going to give birth to a litter, not a lamb. Poor thing looks so uncomfortable.

Congratulations on the new Flower! She's so cute.

I empathize with Acorn!! and Flower looks rugged for a lamb - hooray.

I know, JEFritz! I'm hoping for just two... or one, we are downsizing after all.

Acorn does seem to take it all in stride, but really, how miserable!

and, thank you, Amateur Yankee, Flower is quite the perfect little thing :)

Acorn is huge. I guess it is a good thing because I was worried about my Jeepers who I THOUGHT was big, but I guess she doesn't compare - yet!

Oh, I love your photos! I would love to be a shepherd. And what a warm cozy pen she has. I thought sheep always had two lambs at a time, but obviously not.

I am excited to share this testimony, I was 3 years ago diagnosed of fibroid and complicated Endometriosis. My medical condition was heart broken because it was causing my menstrual cramps,bloating before menstrual periods,lower abdominal pressure which result to heavy periods. I was subjected to different medications by my doctor for treatment . Despite my visit to several doctors my health wasn't getting better, all they could say was surgery. At the verge of giving up, I went to the internet to search for a treatment at least. But I found a cure instead. In the internet, I read a testimony of a lady who had Fibroid. She shared an e-mail address of the Doctor. Luckily everything seemed to be okay after I took the Herbal Medicine. I wish I could say that’s the end of it because I haven't had any symptoms since then.
