Well nothing happened on the coyote front last night. I'm sure that it was an overreaction on my part, but better safe than sorry! I went out a little while ago to check on everyone and the 2 llamas in with the ewes were comfortably sleeping in barn surrounded by sheep. Cassie was still stuffing her face, and Charlotte was standing around looking snobby (like she normally does). I tried to let the 2 sheep and the goats out of the chicken coop, but Lyric was parked in front of the door and wouldn't get up because she was enjoying the message that a chicken was giving her by walking on her back.

We have high hopes for those 2 babies! They are out of Steve who is probably our best ewe and by Wilson who is an excellent ram and usually throws pretty nice babies.

Actually, George is really my favorite, but Vladimir is quite adorable. Especially in that picture!

Peter is VERY pretty. I love those little face markings.

You should do a kids book of Barnyard pictures. I bet it would be a hot seller. You are an amazing photographer.

No new lambies yet. Illa still looks like she is going to explode. Another one of the crossbreds very suddenly grew a big udder so I think she'll probably go soon. They seem to enjoy dragging things along, although it isn't (and won't be) as bad as last year where we started in the beginning of March and didn't end until the end of April, the morning that we were all leaving for 3 weeks in Europe!

On a completely unrelated topic.....I like quiche. I made some for dinner last night. Yum! I had it for breakfast this morning. Yum! And I just had some more for lunch. Yum! It's best eaten cold as leftovers.

I just like to keep things interesting! But I really do like quiche. And I make pretty awesome quiche. With gluten free crust. And have I talked about my gluten free peanut butter chocolate chip cookies??? They look, smell, and taste just like normal cookies!

Now back to lambies.....

Aggie has a new plaything, Rikki the llama. It's a good thing Rikki loves the babies.

Vladimir is such a sweetie. He follows people around the barn asking to be held and cuddled.

Vlad cuddled up with Monty last night.

Have I ever posted this picture?? This is Arlo. He was one of our very first lambs and he was bottle fed. He was one of our main rams for years. He died when he was about 11. Didn't have a mean bone in his body.
