Last night there was a large full moon in the sky, and otherwise the night was very dark. Late in the night, it got quite cold, cold enough for a film of ice to form on some of the water containers - and that appears to have been enough encouragement to cause both our house kitties to snuggle together very cutely, only disturbed in the process of turning out lights for the night.



All the same, there were movements in the night - a raccoon was glimpsed, having set off the security lights, but a good shot wasn't found in time. It slid down the driveway and to freedom, and there were no missing livestock in the morning. Next time, Ranger Rick! We'll get you next time!

We are now up to 14 lambs - 7 ewe lambs and 7 ram lambs, all in excellent health. We're not quite halfway through our lambing season, so if this holds true, we could see easily 30 lambs for the season. Time will tell!
