I’m ok, just need some sunshine to dry out this slop.

It was a couple of counties to the east of me. I just got lots of rain. There is a tornado alley maybe 20-30 miles from me, to the northeast. Funny how certain areas seem to have more tornadoes than others.

In April of 2019, 2 tornadoes a F2 and F3 crossed trails in Alto, Texas and did a lot of damage. There are still wide swaths of dead standing pine trees and lots of downed trees in the forests in that area.

We used to live in upstate SC. Tornadoes seemed to follow I-85, referred to as tornado alley. In 11 years living there I never saw a tornado, but I saw the sky turn green, and once, while living in a mobile home, we bugged out in rain coming down so hard that it literally knocked the breath out of me.

The great thing about having satellite TV, when regular programming is canceled and the weather man is tracing tornadoes, warning people to take cover….. just before it gets to me, the satellite goes off. Now what? Run? Take cover? Kiss my butt goodbye?

After the latest rain storm, total for the days December 23 night to December 28, is 6 1/2” of rain. Ponds are overflowing, ground is soggy with some standing water and sheep pens are POOP SOUP. Dogs, sheep and me are ready for this coming week of sunshine.

Ewenique was due Christmas Eve. Several others are on the overdue train. I’ve been putting Buford in front field daily because I don’t know how he will react to birthing ewes. I’ve been watching, trying to catch a ewe giving birth so I can take him up close, but respectful distance, to watch. That way I can discourage him from galloping up and licking all involved. Maybe today……. Probably not.

I just wonder if they have been holding on to those babies for better weather.

Sometimes they do....if they like you

Ginger, FF, had a single ewe lamb last night. The rest of them need to get busy!

YAY for a ewe lamb and hopefully giving the rest incentive to get on with it!
Won't be long now and you'll be enjoying morning lamb races

This is Ginger and her ewe lamb!
