Brand new lambs!

"Shorts" (or Shorty for short :) our first spring lamb ~ was born March 8th at 9:30pm. This little ram lamb promises to be an entertaining addition to our wee flock. He and 'the Mrs' are doing just fine.

Then, last night at 11:15pm Missy delivered a ewe lamb. It was not an easy or quick delivery but the gentle shepherd was on hand to assist and in the end, all was well.

The weather has turned cold again today but the past few days of warm winds has melted a good deal of snow. Last summers dried grasses are poking up here and there and the meadow 'lake' that appears every spring is beginning to form at the low spots. Soon we'll be watching for the Trumpeter Swans and Sandhill Cranes on their spring migrations.

Our waning winter.

After quite an impressive blast of winter last week, the last few days have brought warm winds and rain resulting in some tremendous puddles around the place. Small ponds really :)

This is the driveway yesterday ~ the steep hill that runs from the main house up to the 8km of road that David maintains. This 8km road connects to the main logging road that takes us into town.

Our creek ~ showing signs of spring, and this morning our first Red winged Blackbird returned. Such a welcome sight and sound!

The grandson! An update
