One new paddock is almost completed while the sheep have been moved to the old paddock where they began the autumn. We are now at over 30 lambs, and lambing season is drawing to a close.

The coyotes have been screeching at night, teasing the neighbors' dogs; fortunately we haven't had any more losses. Three geese are nesting in various locations, two of them quite reliably.

Unfortunately, one of the reliably nesting geese is doing so on the porch by the steps. This has not made some of the delivery people entirely happy.

Green growth has definitely been returning to the land, and soon it will be time to transplant seedlings from indoors into the garden. While we are still getting a fair amount of rain on and off, it's now more off than on.

Each night brings frogsong and the low complaint of sheep across the pasture demanding more treats. They get quite grumbly if they've been given treats and the supply dries up for any reason whatsoever.

30+ lambs manage to thunder quite reliably when they charge, no matter how velvety-quiet they might seem single or in pairs...
