Our winter holiday at the farm

Seven lambs have been born as of today, march 2. This is our first little princess Anastasia, followed by Aretha, Clinton and Obama, Ashley and now two more as yet unnamed. It;s pretty hectic with running out to the barn and bottle feeding Obama and tube-feeding Clinton...
Here's a break to celebrate my parents 57th anniversary at the other farm. All of us were in attendance and it was great fun. So much fun that my brother in law Jason thought it wise to drive me home. (too much Mateus).

Dinner after a long day of sausage making on Inaugauration Day.


Ritsuko checks out recipes for the sausage making adventure.



Little Obama-lama. He is one of twins and their mother was neglectful. Right now, he is asleep in his pen in the sunroom along with his white brother Clinton. Today, he took a giant leap out of the pen, skidded across the tile and landed almost on top of Scooter the dog. He loves running from one end of the room to the other, looking at his reflection in the french doors. And he can empty an 80z bottle of lamb milk replacer in about 45 seconds flat!
