Spring must be on its way! Farms are booming with new lambs.
Last week I had the joy of visiting Shepherds Manor Creamery in New Windsor. Michael, the owner, took me and Jerry inside the barn to meet the new lambs.
Most of the lambs were still in their pen, but there were a few that I could snap in the clear. The sheep above was by herself in the back of the barn.
I went to the back of the pen area to find the youngest (below) laying quietly beside its twin.
I was pleased that it stood up a little while later!
Hunter, the llama, is the protector of the pen. Michael said he sometimes spits. He came a little close to interrogate me, but must have decided I was ok. No spitting.
Of all the snaps I took, I think the one below is my favorite. She's a lady in waiting, serenely resting until her turn to deliver her lambs.
It was a joyful day to stand among newborn lambs and admire God's creativity. We were invited back on the 17th to watch the sheep being sheared. (And get some more snaps of all those little lambs who will probably be running around by then!)
Oh Carol... I LOVE sheep and lambs!! Your photos are wonderful! Your favorite is mine as well. Good to hear from you. Hope you are enjoying every moment of retirement my sweet friend! Love and God-hugs to you... Karla
