Asters Lamb

My computer is acting funky so I'm loading these one at a time....
I am keeping one of Asters lambs again this year. Last years ewe lamb is still BLACK with a gorgeous fleece. These guys look like they may go emsket.

UPDATE UPDATE!

Just came in from the barn....Aster had twins.....EWES!!!! Right now they look black...we'll see what happens. Pictures to follow tomorrow.
YIPPEE!! YIPPEE!!!!

Summertime and the living is easy.......

Mimosa's little beauty...she is gorgeous....and sold. Can't keep them all.......

Kiah and her "favorite son"....she had twin rams and rejected one of them. He has been placed as a bottle baby...soon to be wether...and will be living with two other shetland lambs that they have purchased. This little guy, the favorite, is still here for sale....he's on "Hold" at the moment. He's very cute!! UPDATE: Kindred Spirit Northern Star is SOLD to the Fair family!

Last but not least........

Aster is our hold out this year.....any day now I expect TWIN EWES!
Okay...please may I have twin ewes?

Colby came through with this RAM lamb....yup...another one! He will be for sale. We are tied at 6 and 6.

Late lambs....

Toots came through with these beautiful lambs on Monday afternoon...a ram (top photo) and a ewe in the bottom photo. No names have come to mind, yet. Any ideas? So far we have Nova, Io (one of Jupiters moons), Moon, Zubenelgenubi (sp?), Cassiopeia, and at this moment I can't even think of the others. I thought Orion might me nice for her ram, but nothing is hitting me for her ewe! NFS at this time....

More sad times.......

Okay.....I wasn't ready for this. We're never really ready to lose one of our furry friends, though.

Bridie and I have been through alot together....she was my bud and my best friend when a divorce came my way 10 years ago, and she was at my wedding last October when Ken and I got married. She loved him right away....

She cuddled with me and comforted me when thunderstorms were hitting all around us one summer night...(yup...I was the one that was scared)! She would sneak my coffee every chance she got....(never Kens...he drinks his black)...she likes hers with milk! If Ken made bread, you had to put it in the microwave to hide it! She was my counter-cruising, sock eating, best buddy ever....I loved her. She is the reason that my farm is named Kindred Spirit. She came to me almost 10 years ago...we will miss her terribly! Dragonmist Kindred Spirit....aka Bridie....

The Queen is dead...long live the Queen.

Simon says.....

Why does everyone fuss so over those little sheep?

Long time, no blog.......!

Kiah...one of our hold-outs!
Note the belly....

Pippin soaking up some rays......

Cassi is staying......we have fallen in love with this little girl! Soft, soft, soft....nuff said?

Hi everyone...funny how time just rushes by! Thought I would post a few pictures and tell you all how much I envy yours! Try as I may, I just can't catch those little buggers when they're "dancing"! The nightly races and ballet recitals are always a joy....that I have NOT been able to capture....time for a new camera, I think...or maybe I should ask Ken to try HIS luck! I sat in the pasture last night after work and tried to get a few pictures to share since I have been so lax with my blog. We are still waiting on a few stragglers to lamb...Lord knows I TRY to be patient, but this is getting ridiculous! Four girls were bred very late....and so we wait.
