It's not here yet, but spring is on its way. There are shoots of crocuses, daffodils, tulips and hyacinths coming up in the back yard. More importantly, on a walk with Aldus and Maui past the schaapskooi last Friday we discovered...LAMMETJES! Oh squee, how I love the lammetjes!
There were two little two-day old lambs in a pen near the barn door with their mother, one of which I got to pet! (Aldus wasn't too keen. Maui was tied up far away.) And a handful of three-week old lambs were running around with the bigger sheep inside and behind the barn.
Of course I dragged Charles back with us the next day for another look and some photos. Behold, the three-day old lambs! (Yes, that wooly thing that they like to stand on is their mother.)
We also noticed a few lambs (probably also three-weekers) out in a pasture between Diever and Dwingeloo. It won't be long before they're all over the place, and I won't be able to drive anywhere without stopping to laugh and take photos.
keep 'em comin! i heart them too!

"squee" is just the perfect word to use when it's time for lammetjes!

They are adorable but we like the "mountain rabbit" better.
