All along this wee lamb has been So Noisy. Now I know why. I changed their coats yesterday, Mama hates when I do this, she will BAA straight into my face when I put smelly clean clothes on them but the hand fed ones had grown out of their first coats and have to keep clean for their outings. And, Oh my goodness, what did I discover hiding under there. A girl! A Matilda lurking about with the Murphys.
“Hullo Tilly!”
“I’m a girl, miss c.”
“I see that honey, I must have checked the same lamb twice last time I looked, it was really pretty busy that day. I am sorry about that. I hope you don’t get a complex. Your mascara is running. Does your Mama know you are out wearing that much make up?”
“But I am a GIRL, miss c. I have a name.”
“I know, poor Tilly darling, I should change your coat more often. I am sorry. Now, can we talk about something else. I am feeling a little embarrassed.” 
Daisy came out to see how the other half lived and decided she liked it better in the barn yards. 
Some chickens love the mud, some not so much. 
Of course, Ton is in splashy heaven. 
Charlotte and Sheila had a lovely run. Charlotte is back to her old self, scoffing everything in sight and honking for hugs. Sheila is still being gentle and smoochy with me.
Here is the beginnings of the mezzanine in The Coupe. 
And look, I see a little fresh green leaf, a legume beginning to grow in the hay field. 
I am sure that is a new leaf in there. Though it is still cold.
Good morning. How exciting to discover that we have a rose between all those bright and cheerful lamb thorns. John said how are you going to explain that to your people. Ah well I said. I get a bit bleary eyed when I am doing four hourly feeds, I will cut the 2 am one out from now on, they are growing well and who knows what else I have been missing.
I have finished the lighting design for the Coupe and today we go to choose the fixtures, number the boxes and put corresponding numbers on the walls so the electrician can begin. The objective of my lighting is to to simply but dramatically accentuate the beautiful bones of the building, using reflected light to light the people. The direct pools of light (reading, writing) will be created with plug-in lamps. A good lighting design is critical. You can tell I spent a lot of time working in the theatre!! (laughter)
There are two interior windows (one in the stand alone shelf and one in the bathroom wall) that will be stained glass. Though I have not found the glass yet. So if you come across any beautiful old or new pieces let me know. Lit from behind these windows will be gentle colourful night lights. And lit by the sun in the day. Well, you can imagine. Light is a glorious gift.
Have a lovely day.

Love Leanne NZ
Yes Tilly gets to stay, she will join the breeding stock. c
Yay!
I think you discovered the truth before the little dear suffered a permanent identity crisis! How funny! How nice to see little bits of green popping through the snowy patches. It must look lovely to you and all the gang. 🙂 If you have the time, Celi, take a quick peek over at “my place” today…I have some photos of Kupas Southern California relatives! 🙂
What a Cute Lamb:) Happy Friday – Happy Weekend on the Farmy!
It’s a girl! It’s a girl!. Hurrah. I do so love her runny makeup. What a sweetheart. Have a lovely day. Have a gorgeous week-end Celi. XO V.
Welcome Matilda! What gorgeous colouring. 🙂
Tilly is the name of our little, red, wiener dog, so she is so happy you named wee, girly, lamb after her!! And if that is not a face to love…with her little airplane ears!! 🙂
Yay, a girl! And she’s so pretty. What a face! The picture of the white chicken with its head in the pot gave me a good laugh for some reason. It’s been really fun watching the coupe take shape. I bet the finished result is going to be fabulous! Have a lovely weekend ~ April 🙂
GREEN!!! I SEE GREEN!!! How wonderfully exciting for you! I need to go for a walk and see if I can see green any place…any where!

Oh! So cute with the “coat” on! Hi, TonTon!
Oh! I am so happy there’s a girl! It just didn’t seem right to all be boys. 🙂
Matilda! Now that’s something I doubt any of us was expecting. Too funny, Celi.
Today’s photos remind me why I tend to avoid a visit to Michigan this time of year. Mud everywhere and Max seems to attract it. Not a great combo.
Sure would be nice to se the Sun again. Saw a report that said we had 20% less sunshine this past February than normal. Let’s hope March makes up for it. Have a great night.
‘Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda’: well I’ll give a dance around the computer for the beautiful little one to stay! And, dear Miss C, not only have you missed the sex of one of the Murphies but there are definitely a number of spring leaves on that photo:) ! Guess your busy mind has been on all that fabulous lighting to come in the coupe 😀 ! happy weekend, farmy . . .
Yay for a girl, and a cute one at that. One of my favorite parts of my interior design days was lighting design.
What a pleasant surprise . . . especially for Tilly.
Farmy: 5 Freezer: 3.
Tilly’s marbly lamby face is just the sweetest. Will it stay that way, or will it go black like the other ewes? I bet the homeschool kids will be thrilled.
