I have one more ewe left to lamb so I will back to lamb watch soon. Though i don't expect anything from her until the end of dec, start of jan time frame.
Fingers crossed for some ewe lambs ! :fl
Im so excited to get our new ram this summer. Hopefully we can get our hands on a good one. We have someone who is going to take a
look for us at the mid west sale.:)

Maple doesn't like being stuck inside with her lambs. But it is so cold and so icy out that I don't want to risk her hurting herself or her lambs. I try to let them out for a few minutes while we clean their stall then put them back in but she isn't happy about it. Trying to ignore this cold weather by planning for our gardens this spring, We had so many issues with fungus and bugs last year that I think we might spray this year to help control it. We have 6 apple trees, a cherry tree, a peach tree, nectarines and plums and had NO harvest last year it was horrible!! not letting that happen again. Thankfully the berry bushes ( blackberry and raspberry) did very well and helped make up for it.

lol we were at 3 degrees this morning. Was chilly that's for sure, but i know in Jan and Feb it will get even colder. You know its bad when 30 feels warm o_O
Yep! If it hadn't been windy and really gray today, the 33.5° we had would have felt warm. I did take advantage of the "warm" weather to put the newly arrived registration sticker on my car's license plate.

About where are you in Maine? We are going to be passing through early January to take DD1 up to Mt. Allison University in the far NE part of New Brunswick. If we are close I can wave in your general direction.

The warm weather and rain melted off quite a bit of the snow, so everyone went outside to get some fresh air. Which gave me a chance to take some pictures :)
I know you all love pics so here you go!
