Six ewes to deliver should fit the barn better than some of the larger numbers I've had in the past. They'll be coming to the barn to cool off instead of to get warm. I hope all goes well. Take care.Shepherd's Lofthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01769586772026811535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6340940063804493502.post-39573526661885619192012-03-14T05:53:11.858-04:002012-03-14T05:53:11.858-04:00Tami, I'm forging ahead with planting the cool...Tami, I'm forging ahead with planting the cool crops. I expect (hope) we'll get some cooler weather yet. The week ahead is to be way too warm and dry for this time of year. The nicest peas and onions I ever harvested were planted this early. I'm hoping for a repeat of that success. We usually get frost through mid-May. No tomato or corn planting yet. Thank you for the good lambing wishes. Photos soon.Shepherd's Lofthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01769586772026811535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6340940063804493502.post-58898105243364573732012-03-13T23:17:38.036-04:002012-03-13T23:17:38.036-04:00Everybody looks great!

Impending lambing is a bit nerve-racking but exciting too :)Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02933994405525350138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6340940063804493502.post-24244004124378054432012-03-13T17:04:14.716-04:002012-03-13T17:04:14.716-04:00We've had crocuses and daffodils too, but ther...We've had crocuses and daffodils too, but there were snow flurries today. Nothing that stuck around too long, but still snow. My swiss chard wintered through and I can share some with friends. It also looks like my artichoke is coming back. Actual veggie planting won't happen though until late April, early May because we're just weird enough to get snow in April or freezing overnight temps. <br /><br />Good luck with the lambing! I love seeing the pictures you post.PNWBookGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05599445541260252801noreply@blogger.com
