More Lambs

Edgewood, IL

Hello,

This evening two more good looking twin lambs came out so we could see them. It is about thirty degrees outside so not so terribly cold in the barn. All of these babies seem to be quite content with life.

There are 30 ewes so we might get to see some more before we leave. I have also enjoyed petting the cats here. I would like a pet, but I am glad that we do not have such, given the unstable quality of our lives. A pet would be more of a liability than an asset. My plants are definitely easier to board because they do not require the same level of care as a pet.

There are snow geese that are gleaning the fields around here. I thought it might be a thousand and my sister thinks it is more like two thousand birds. They are quite the sight, but not considered beneficial as they make a lot of noise as they talk freely.

Leroy’s ears are feeling much better so we hope they are clear of wax. At least he seems to hear much better than he did in recent days.

We have been picking out black walnuts and keeping an eye on a fat squirrel as it gobbles up corn. There are also birds on the bird feeder, but they are not quite so entertaining.
