There is nothing in the world softer than a lamb's muzzle in your hands. Heavenly.
I love this shot! The way they are all looking at the camera reminds me of photos from an office holiday party.
Delicious, delicious molasses.
Victoria is a very proper sort of lamb. She kind of reminds me of Margaret Thatcher.
Nan is hands-down the sweetest lamb I've ever had. It's hard to get good pictures of her because she wants to be right beside me, nuzzling me all the time. She is wearing a bit of hay in this pic...
which Victoria finds absurd and wasteful.
"Let me help you out with that. Nom nom nom nom."
We moved Miss Linda, our oldest nanny, in to the lamb pen this week. Linda is 14 or 15, toothless and she doesn't get anywhere in a hurry. She has a lovely spirit though and is the best mama we have. We put her with the babies so she wouldn't have to compete so hard for food. She's already gained a little weight and the babies seem happy to have her body heat in the shelter. Every time I check on her there are three or four kids snuggled up to her.
Don't you want to kiss that little nosey? I kissed it this afternoon for you.
I can't get enough of the perpetually surprised look on Martha's face.
