Our lambing season is now officially over since our #1 ewe lamb that Jay bought had a big ram lamb this afternoon. We could hear her bellowing at our place which is about 1/2 mile away.

We will pull the 2 month old and over lambs Monday so it's going to be noisy around here for a few days. Those lambs go to market on Friday.

Do you take them to an auction barn?

There seem to be plenty of bees around here. When the collard greens bolted, I just left them. There wasn't much blooming and the bees were all over the blooms. The bees have really worked over the clover too.

There is an auction barn about an hour from us but this one guarantees market rate so if lambs aren't sold on the floor he buys them.

The neighborhood telegraph got the word out that we had bedding plants for sale so several of the neighbors bought their garden starts at our place and didn't have to drive into Lewisburg. All of the hanging flower baskets went also but we are going to the auction again on Wednesday.

I got a decent picture of Thor this morning when I was out taking some pictures for something else. His size is really deceiving as in a picture since he is considerably bigger than Maisy now.

Since it was raining all day we went to see the latest Avengers movie at the Martin Methodist College theatre. This was a first for us and I don't recall ever sitting in seats so uncomfortable but it was minutes away instead of almost an hour to the next theatre. The movie was okay but they spent an awful lot of time and effort unsuccessfully trying to turn an entertaining movie into an Epic one. Also, I really don't like seeing the end of a movie and having to ask how the heck did it end.

I recently had a couple of squirrels move into the area adjacent to my garden beds and they have decided to dig plant material out about as fast as I can put them in so I dug out the Gamo pellet gun. My little .410 makes my old eyes aim better but our new neighbors are from Nashville and not yet used to us yet.
