Armed with his bottle and a layer of extra anti nibbling clothing our intrepid wee warrior climbed into the pen with the wild untamed lambies.
Poor kid never stood a chance. The quads just LOVE him. And only two are bottle fed remember!
Barely escaped with his boots actually. I have a feeling that Minty, who will still follow a bottle at her age, was egging them on!
Minty loves people.
As you can see Mama keeps a close eye on visitors. But the homeschooled children are used to her, they know Mothers are like that.
Then back inside we went to practice our knitting. We cut up old fabric into long strips, knotted them together and made peggy squares.
Life is fun.
Good morning. I have made a pact with myself not to mention the weather for a week. Unless it is glorious sun or life giving rain. I shall not mention the cold again. I don’t think it helps to moan about stuff we cannot change. It just drags us deeper, making it harder to cope. And to moan about the cold makes me feel colder and more hunched and miserable. And I was getting repetitive. So. The End of Cold Talk.
I really hope that you have a lovely day. We will.

The lambies grow so quickly! Just look how big they are!
Have a great day, C!
You are giving those children memories that will stay with them forever!
Oh this is so gorgeous, C!
Sending you warm sunshiny thoughts! Thanks for brightening my day with your blog.
I want to be a child coming to your farmy. They are having soo much fun.
Loving fashionista Minty’s hair accessory. Cute greedy Lambies 🙂 Laura
I hope you don’t mind me asking, but I need some sound, old fashioned, farmer type wisdom and this is the best place of combined solid knowledge that I know: my pup has an injury to his cornea that isn’t healing as quickly as hoped. There is no foreign object in there. WWCD? 🙂
Lacey that is horrible, there are eye drops that you can get from the vet that create a skin on top of the eye allowing it to heal underneath, or maybe you are already using these, I hope you can get that sorted soon.. poor pup.. c
Funny, I made the same pact with myself yesterday. 🙂 The lambs grow very quickly, I didn’t realize!
A;though still froid (avoiding the c word), there are definite signs of Spring here: Banks are studded with primroses, violets and celandines; there are leaves sprouting all over our hawthorne hedge; daffodils and hyacinths are blooming in the garden, and along the hedge bottom. Dick Turrapin emerged from his hivernation to sunbathe on his ramp for a few hours a couple of days ago I think the tide has turned.
Enjoy your day everyone.

Ok, I won’t talk about the foot of snow we just got and the two more snowstorms predicted…too depressing. Besides, there are tomato plants, onions, celery and leeks sprouting on my windowsills, carrots, mesclun and head lettuce growing in two hoophouses. Spring is here, my friend, maybe in name only for the time being, but Winter can’t win against something so persistent and powerful as the longer days growing longer…
The quads are getting so big! What wonderful, unforgettable experiences those children are having! What are peggy squares?
What a brilliant experience for the children, I bet they love it!
The feeding lamb photos remind me of feeding calves as a young girl. Great images w/ beautiful light, BTW.
Also, can you share more about the peggy squares? I am not familiar with these.
Morning! Michael plowed and tilled some yesterday and then it snowed last night. Not much. Just a dusting. But the sun is coming in the window making me want to curl up like a cat in the sun and snooze! It’s great to see your homeschoolers getting a lambie fix. Have a great day Celi!
Wonderful title today, Celi — I had to read the post.
Lucky kiddies – Minty’s face is a picture!!!And I agree with you about the weather; sometime we talk ourselves into being miserable about it!
