Cowboy up!!!

Generally, the first 2 weeks of a lambs life, I have a terrible time coming back from the shed after morning and evening chores.  This year there is an inordinate amount of cutsie antics and friendly lambs that make it nearly impossible to get my butt back to the house.  I simply lack the self control to stop watching the lambs and then if they get friendly and beg for scratches, I'm a goner.  
Sooooo, even though Salicional and her lambs should probably be out with the rest of the "gang", I got selfish and kept her inside for another day or two.  (she's out with the herd now)  Monday night I had another round of farm tour guests, which is a regular "thing" during lambing season around here.  During this visit, Salicional's lambs decided to saddle up and torment their mother by riding her around her pen.......over and over again.  
Can you please stop moving mom........

Seriously, this is getting old Salina

Peekaboo.........I'm up next

Come on Sawyer, you are NOT doing your share of the pushing

The fun never ends............

  5. Thanks Stephen, he's a farm favorite! Very friendly and his fleece is awful nice. I'm pretty sure he will be registered, so I've named him Sawyer. (pending further evaluation)

He who angers you, controls you.

And my favorite.......You can't control what others say or do, but you can control your reaction.
