This is a strange mix of ghost story, psychological thriller, social/historical commentary and experiment fiction. Set in Victorian England, it is about a little girl that may or may not be haunted by a lascivious ghost. In each section, the story is retold from a different point of view and the "ghost" changes drastically in the light of each retelling. Angelica is interesting, if overwrought in style (mimics the old-fashioned writing of the era, but not engagingly). I did not give up NPR for this one either, though I did clock quite a few miles with it.

Once you have them it looks like it is hard to break the sheep habit!
Aww.... lovely sheep!
And I had no idea they could live more than 12 years! WOW!
Thanks for sharing! :D
I loved when you said "a watched sheep never lambs" I've been up to the same thing! Good luck with your lambing. Acorn sure looks ready!
Chai Chai: It IS hard to break the habit! Who knew getting up at 6 to feed and water was addictive!
Monica: it is hard to believe. Though, counting back i realize Copper is really 10 or 11 (oops!) I should correct that!
Luckbunny: Yes ready and waiting.... 9I'm waiting anyway) Good luck with your lambs!
Leaving the sheep thing was hard but when Ursa prolapsed, it was the end of an era. The goats haven't had any problems sooo, I guess they can stay. It's really pathetic when you still have a 4-H projects 6 years after the kid left for college.
Wishing you luck on the lambing. This is so interesting for a city girl! Keep us posted.
I still live vicariously through you so I am looking forward to hearing all about the lambs!
Hi Lisa! Great to see you here! How are things in Schmoopywood?
We are STILL waiting on lambs (!!!) so your vicarious living mostly consists of heading out to the barn at midnight and 5 AM to check the ewes, leaving friend's houses earlier than you'd like and hoping nothing happens while you are away for work. :) The lambs, however, will make it all worthwhile.
Very beautiful capture, great composition and colors !!
Beautiful! We had two lambs today, Perri...I thought of you!
My apologies for taking so long to thank you for the blog award. I was tickled! Because my blog is so work-related, I don't really do the awards, but I am linking to your blogs tomorrow...just so you know. I should have thought of it before. Maybe I need a farm column on the sidebar...hmmm...
Good luck with your lambs!
Thank you again!
