There have been a lot of sweaty brows and some large glasses of cold mint tea lately.
And bottles for the lambs that need a little boost.
Lots of looking at poop and saying, “Ohh, those are some very fine poobles you made”, and “Oh no, that is very runny poop. Why?” And scratching our heads, then collecting samples to send to the lab to hopefully figure out what’s going on. 
Checking our cattle while our cattle are checking us.

Cecilie’s strawberry shortcake with homemade yogurt and maple syrup.
Yesterday we watched the thunderstorms gathering, thankful for the inch and two tenths of rain it brought, but we held our breaths as the wind whipped things around. We checked our livestock after the storm, and other than one lamb getting stuck in a feeder, things were fine.
To quote Frank Kleinheinz, “Our happiest hours are spent among our flock, watching the young lambs grow and the old ones do well.”
love the shot of phil feeding the chubby lamb and the shadows; you and chihiro’s. guess i did hear that there was inclement weather on east coast.
finners had a tangle with another cat a week ago and was out all nite; a near-sleepless nite for momma. he seems to not get that cats aren’t all the friendly types. he’s ok now after a trip to the vet right away.
be well all of you and yours, love, love the momma
