Snow Day Surprise

Well, it's about 9pm and we have about six inches on the ground. Heavy, wet, thick. At least it won't blow (much). But the snow was expected.

What was not anticipated was having a new lamb on the ground! Scarface had a single, a ewe, early this morning. We'd bought her off of Tim after her accident, and she's become quite the pet. Tim must've had her bred before she got here last September, and was unaware the ram had found her.

She'd already had her by the time I got out there about 8:30, but she was just starting to clean her up. So I guess she was probably born about 8. Tried to get a picture, but it was pretty dark in the barn and the batteries or something was funky on the camcorder, so those'll have to wait.

Lorraine wanted to name her, so we settled on "Bonnie". Lorraine's thinking of the Scots phrase for "pretty", but I'm sticking to the gangster motif - if she'd have had a twin ram lamb, I would've named him "Clyde"...

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
