Just in from bottle time. Checked all mom/babes while out there. Most all are great moms.....but, I think the black doe has hired a nanny 
. Yep, those twins like mom & hang with another doe, too. She's to kid in a couple weeks so maybe practicing "huggles". Today's found twins & doe all snuggled up in the shed where she had them. I'll get them moved tomorrow, although they're good there for now. Closed in, open door & window, off wind side. Big 10x14. Another 12x14 open, 3 sided.
30F now & dropping. 25ish at daybreak. Had some spitting, frozen rain going on. Saw it on stuff as I walked by. They said we might get flurries overnight. Really don't need or want it!!

Your accommodations for new mothers rival the Holiday Inn. All sound happy, warm in this cold weather, well fed and cared for.

Let's hope
. Remember, I've had 25 yrs here!! This is an accumulation over time, although the barn was up shortly after house, the rest took several years. 
Heck, I'm at rework & replace some of it now

Sometimes I feel like I’m never going to catch up. I thought I’d have this whole place fenced by now. The back field is probably close to half of this 25 acres. I have enough projects to do here that will last the rest of my life and beyond that. LOL

The one who was being a "nanny" had her own twins late afternoon. Boy/girl twins. Everyone had kids out playing today. A couple got tired, curled up with new friends & drove moms nuts screaming for them. I retrieved and got them back together. The fun of a shepherd 
15 tonight
