Not much, but it's pretty. (And it freezes every water line on the farm.)
Mr. Wendell and Ricky checking out the Sheep house, where they lived before we moved them to the front barn. The horses are making sure no food was left. I guess they just want to help clean up.
The watchful mama with her twins. These are the first lambs ever born on this farm. That's a big statement since this farm has been in the family since the 1680s!
Do I hear Awwwwwww?
You can see that we sectioned off this barn. There will be many more mama/baby residents soon.
It is very cold, but the barn will keep the wind off them and the straw should be a good place for the babies.
Two of our young Berkshire pigs find sunbathing a great way to get warm.
The jolly-but-cold green giant in the pasture is Molly Lu.
Molly and Chip are happy to have their new Christmas blankets with the cold temperatures. Funny- Chip is afraid of Molly's blanket. ???
I'm off to put the tea kettle on the stove and have some tea. Have a wonderful weekend, my friends!
I'm in love, they are so cute!
ReplyDeleteThe pioneer lambs are just precious. Thank you for sharing them. And you can tell Chip I don't blame him for being a little scared of that neon green blanket. Haha! Bet Molly thinks she's pretty special in it, though. : )
ReplyDeleteKeep warm!

Okay, so I want some lambs now! Seriously! I must speak to the hubs. They are A-dor-a-ble! Happy weekend backatcha girl.
ReplyDeleteYou get a big AWWW from me. I just love the little lambs. Hope it warms up for you soon.
ReplyDeleteoh my they are the cutest things! stay warm and I hope you enjoy your cup of tea.
ReplyDeleteSounds good to me.
Yes, you're right. It has been a fluke looking for pink objects!
ReplyDeleteHow sweet your animals are??? I love the sea but if I could have so many animals I could live in the country. How lucky you are! Have a nice WE.

Those lambs are so absolutely adorable. Oh wow! How special. What do you raise sheep for? Meat?
ReplyDeleteI can't believe that farm has been in the family for that long. What a legacy!
Congratulations Patrice for having your first set of lambs on your farm. Have you thought of naming them yet. What gender??
ReplyDeleteI think that I would love looking after lambs as they are so small and cute. I love the baa baaaaa sound. Enjoy your new residents.
Hugs,
JB
The lambs really are adorable! We don't have snow here in Missouri, but it has been very, very cold. Stay warm this weekend!
ReplyDeleteI know animals are a ton of work but boy they sure look cute! Around here I always see lambs in the spring. Is it common to have/breed them in the winter? Just curious I am a town girl and just watch them when I drive past the farms, lol.
ReplyDeletethey're beautiful. congratulations!
ReplyDeleteThe lambs are so precious!!! We've got an ice storm here....and predictions of snow on top of this. Next week, they're predicting thunderstorms. Crazy weather!!! The snow on your farm looks beautiful, though. HOPE you have a great weekend!!!
ReplyDeletePatrice, these photos are all so precious. Baby lambs are sooooooo adorable. I would be wanting to cuddle and kiss them! I love your header, too. Stay warm. xo
ReplyDeleteThanks for the lamb pics. My lambies are due at the end of march and I keep looking at the ewes tummies and wondering how many lambs each one is having. I guess the snow could be alot worse and the barn looks lovely and cosy so the lambies wont mind too much. I cant wait till my little lambies are spinging about the place but your pics will keep me going till then.
ReplyDeleteawwwwwww, they are so cute! I'm sure you named them Snowball and Snowflake in honor of the first snow! teehee
ReplyDeleteAwwwwwww :-)

ReplyDeleteahhhh love those precious twin baby lambs! I wish I was visiting at your place today! I want some snow please!
ReplyDeleteVery cold but very pretty. Those are the cutest lambs and what a pretty Momma. Well try and stay warm.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love this post! I wish I could be there! Stay safe & warm, and keep us posted.
ReplyDeleteA definite Awwwww from the neck of the woods! These lambs are *adorable* ... and so fortunate to have a place inside, rather than being out in the snow.
ReplyDeleteFab photos :)
what do folks say in these situations?? Congrats, i'm guessing. that's so exciting. they are so cute!! enjoy these precious moments. ( :
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Enjoy them & the snow! xx
ReplyDeleteThe first thought in my mind was, 'How are you keeping all the animals warm?" I would worry about that all season long. And then worry about the excessive heat in the summer. I just couldn't live on a farm. I'd worry about the animals too much and have to bring them in the house and that wouldn't work at all. LOL The lambs are so cute!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a big AWWWW! from me. The lambs are so sweet!
ReplyDeleteCath @ Bits 'n Bobs
The lambs are so cute!
ReplyDeleteDearest Patrice,

Awwwwww I love this time of year I am talking about the birthing season not the what the heck my nose fell off and when is it going to warm up again season. Congrats on the new life. B
ReplyDeleteMama and babies look very good! They look very comfortable in the deep straw.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping for some warmer weather in the very near future...
Hahahaha... that is so funny that Chip is afraid of Molly's blanket. And yes! You did hear an AWWWWWW or two!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the new lambs! So cute!
ReplyDeleteYou snow pictures are lovely, and those little lambs- stinkin adorable!
ReplyDeleteSee you again soon.
Becka @ Girasole Farm
Welcome to the world little ones,my they're sweet. Nice blankets for Molly and Chip they must really enjoy them during your cold snap. Beautiful pictures thank you for sharing. Take care!
ReplyDeletePatrice, lovely photos and cute lambs; I do miss lambs but not enough to actually go through all that again -grin-. It still cold and my bathroom hot water line froze but God and I got it unfrozen after about six hours.
ReplyDeleteProviding and Protection...
I'm visiting from Grow Your Blog - how lovely to live with these pretty creatures although I am sure it is hard work too - the horses and lambs are so sweet - lovely to visit your blog. Betty
ReplyDeleteAnd this is why I could never live on a farm. Those little babies would be in my house where things were warm. Or the barn would be sealed up tight and heated. I am sooooo not a good farm girl.
