Odds and Ends

by Susan on July 10, 2009

First of all, thank you all so very much for your kind words about Agnes. It was a terrible loss and I know that many of our long-time readers shared in our grief over losing her. For those of you who’ve asked, Arno is doing very well. As the oldest kid he was nearly ready for weaning anyway and he will continue to thrive under our careful watch.

There is never a good time to lose an animal. Never. But I was so grateful for the distraction of Dakota and Delaware this week. It is hard not to be hopeful when there are newborn lambs around. Here are some of the highlights of the week.

There was a good bit of leaping going on.

Which is exhausting for such little lambs.

There was also a whole lot of snorgling to do.

On another note, we have received the first batch of Unique Sheep Yarn from Laura and Kelly and will begin shipping it out in order of order date tomorrow. Thanks to everyone for being so patient. This is a brand new project for both us and the Unique Sheep and we are still working out some of the kinks.

Susie, thanks so much for those wonderful pics. Those Double DD’s are double DELICIOUS!

Sadness over Agnes…thankful Arno was nearly ready to wean. Hang in there, Sweetie. As we both know, this too shall pass. Snorgles for you.

The lambs are so cute. And growing so fast. I am so glad Arno is doing well. I was worried about him. Hugs for you and everyone else at the farm.

I didn’t think anything could be as cute as the kids, then the Ds came. Sweet, sweet faces, and I love those knobby knees.

Enjoy the good things. They’re precious.

Susan, I’m sorry for your loss! I’m glad you have the distraction of the new lambs and what cuties they are.

Thanks for the reminder that sweet life goes on! The D Twins are adorable, of course. And I love all of Erin’s snorgling (Tee Hee!) shots! :)

Oh my god, this post reminds me so much of those Little Golden Books from when I was a little, little girl! I had one about lambs and I swear it was just like this! :)

With their little white faces and darker coats they look as if they are wearing fleece pjs. How adorable they are.
