It snowed another eight inches the past couple of days; heavy wet heart breaking snow. We lost power just before going to bed last night and so I relearned how to play cribbage with Will over a bottle of wine, after Will filled every large vessel with snow to melt because we didn't think to fill up the myriad of water jugs we have. The power came back on sometime in the night and just when I got out of bed at five-ish in the morning, flickered off again. The kids had breakfast by candle light and around 9:00 the lights came back on. I was able to head out to the office after Will snow blowed the driveway and it did melt a bit during the day, though not all of the new stuff went away.
Poor Kim and her big brother still are locked away with their mum, but they should be able to be out in the sun and snow this weekend.
Kim is going to outgrow that sweater in a few days! She is nibbling on hay and nursing well.
She loves laying her head on her big brothers neck. He is adorable and they both have magnificent fleeces. I think Karen will be pleased to have them in her flock (I'll take Kim if she isn't!). Kashmir will stay here with us.
Muckle Mull, the escapee ram, went to the vets Thursday to be relieved of his "purse". I meant to take a picture of him lying in the back of the van but he was so meek and sad looking I forgot. Everyone at the vets office thought he was adorable (he was scared!) He is back in with his girls until he heals up and everyone will be rejoined after lambing at shearing time. He isn't talking to me just this moment for some reason.

Oh my; I just can't imagine that kind of weather any more! Our one winter in MN was long, cold and white; I'm thankful to have moved here in 1989.
ReplyDeleteI've been envious of your spring for quite some time and living vicariously from your photos!
DeleteMy listeners and I are loving the stories of Kim and her strength. She's an inspiration!
ReplyDeletePoor old MM..... I sympathise; ouch.
