We have another lambie! A rammy lambie from Stripe. He's fuzzy - much more than any of the others we've had here. Kinda cute, white with spots (LOL was hoping for brown like Stipe - such is life).
more pics later of course.
When I put sheep away last night I could hear one of them going maaaa maaaaa. Wondered what was going on. Thought that perhaps Smile had gotten out of the pasture, but there was just one voice. When we got to the barn They were all there. No "extras" - but Stripe had decided she must have a lamb somewhere and kept going over to Smile who was just ignoring her (your not my maaaaam). I had an inkling that Stripe just might lamb. Sure enough - this morning checking on the Blink cam there she was with a lamb.
The garden this year is absolutely the best ever thanks to bird netting. Tomatoes are going crazy, the Early Girls are giving me about 6# a day at the moment. Since they are a determinant variety once they're done I'll pull them an replant with another plant - a 'surprise variety' (volunteers from my friend). I've been putting up a lot of roasted tomato soup the last couple weeks - it'll taste soooo good come fall and winter. More tomato kitchen adventures ahead - salsa (this one for Bay -- fahr sauce) and maybe ketchup.
Cooked up that tatume squash yesterday stuffed with Italian sausage, jalapenos, seranos, tomatoes and cheese -- yummy. Tonight I think I'll grill it. Yeah - it's coming in too - hmm kitchen experiment see how well it freezes.

here, grass GROWS. It's everywhere!!!
. The boxes are from Home Depot online. They're high density polyethylene (fancy name for nice plastic). This is their 3rd year and they are just like when we put them in - though a bit dirtier 
. Under each one is 1/2 in hardware cloth to keep the gophers out.
