11:58 PM, 26 March 2010Overcast & cool
One more lamb's been born in the all-ewe flock; the first one, upon closer examination, has turned out to be a ram lamb. The new one was born sometime last night or early this morning, and has not yet been examined that closely. It is, however, easily twice the size of the tiny ram lamb.
The barn cats are a bit sulky at having been kept penned up today as half the day was sunny and warm. The rain began in the early afternoon, however, and there was enough coming & going of UPS and FedEx and ourselves to warrant not risking furry little lives.
Tootles can be seen on guard duty; Slightly appears to be lately stealing fluff stuffing from the stored mattress. He may however have caught something genuinely small and furry; we couldn't get a close enough look to be sure if it was that or a bit of well-chewed cardboard.
The ewe flock have been given more fencing and fresh pasture as of today, in addition to last night's shifting of their shelter. All else seems stable but stationary, although we farmers certainly won't be; tomorrow is another shipment of trees which means more holes to be dug.
