My mom has been looking at personality types today and she gave most of us a questionnaire to fill out. I scored as an "ISFP". The description of that personality type was shockingly accurate.
ISFP - The Artist
Quiet, serious, sensitive and kind. Do not like conflict, and not likely to do things which may generate conflict. Loyal and faithful. Extremely well-developed senses, and aesthetic appreciation for beauty. Not interested in leading or controlling others. Flexible and open-minded. Likely to be original and creative. Enjoy the present moment.
Kind of cool! And it even said that ISFPs very often drawn to animals and small children (something about the unconditional love), both of which are very true of me. I think my mom used the questionnaire on personalitypage.com, if anyone is interested. Everyone in my family that has taken the quiz so far has been a different type. It's rather fun figuring out what everyone is!

Oh Purplequeen that is So YOU!
I wish you would publish a book for kids about lambs and farm animals. You have the heart and soul of an artist and tons of talent!
Your babies are precious, by the way!

Quick update.....haven't been on too much this past week, too many other things keeping me busy. 
Sheep
We are up to 24 lambs (11 rams, 13 ewes) and we're still waiting on the last 2 Shetland ewes to lamb. Bridget's due date was yesterday and she is looking closer, but she was really sneaky last year. Didn't show and signs and then suddenly, there was a baby.
The rest of the babies are growing well. They have all figured out the creep and they most of them pile in there at night.
Squash is almost completely better. I took her stitches out on Saturday.
We are down by 10 sheep! My dad slaughtered all 10 of last years lambs that needed to go. We have another 9 or 10 older ewes and rams that are still on the list. Next weekends project probably.
Goats
Hettie and Lyric ignore Nigel. Poor guy doesn't even exist in their minds. Nigel is as sweet as ever. I really hope that he gets annoying because otherwise it will be very difficult to follow our *plan*.
Nigel got disbudded on Wednesday. He was knocked out completely for the procedure, but he recovered very quickly. He's rocking the silver wound spray.
---------------------
Lyd went to a 4-H Sheep Quiz Bowl and Skill-a-thon on Saturday. She's been asking about joining 4-H, but my mom doesn't want her to because of the time commitment. There are a couple sheep clubs in our area, but they are small and Lyd finds all but a couple of the people in those clubs annoying. The club she'd want to join is an hour away. She did learn that she could be an independent member though. That's a member that isn't affiliated with any particular club. That would mean that she wouldn't have monthly meetings to attend (makes my mom happy). She'd still have to do the project books and such, but she'd get all the other benefits of being in 4-H (like the workshops, showing in the youth show at the Big E, scholarships, etc....). I think that one of the requirements is that she'd have to find a "mentor" who would go through the 4-H leader training or something, but my friend is already a leader and could potentially be her mentor.

Our snow from the last storm is almost all gone. Here are a few snow shots that I never got around to posting.

My oldest sister's birthday was on Saturday and we had a birthday lunch for her after church of Sunday. I was up until 11:30 making 2 cakes for her. And then it turned out that we didn't even need 2 cakes because 4 of her husband's siblings weren't able to come. Grrr.....
One of the cakes was a gluten-free (so that I could have some!) coconut lime cake. Yum!

That's all for now!

That's all? That was a LOT! Coconut lime cake sounds delicious!
Glad to hear that Lydia can get the benefits of 4H. I was a member when I was a kid and LOVED it!

Haha! I know....it sounded like a lot more once I typed it all out.Queen Mum said:
We were 4-H members for years a long time ago. The club disbanded once our family made up all of the members.
Granted there were still 6 members, but it was a lot of work.Latest posts
