The birds are chirping, the bees are buzzing, and we’re staring at sheep backsides. At least this year Andy knows the difference between a sheep pooing and a sheep having a lamb.

This time around we only bred Pearl and Sadie because Pumpernickel and her baby (who sadly still does not have a name) are puny. We don’t need to make more puny sheep. Pearl appears to be getting pretty close to popping. Her uddery bits got a lot bigger this weekend, and today she looked really waddly. Sadie has pretty big uddery bits but not as big as Pearl’s, so I think Sadie has a bit longer to go. Who knows.

I really hope everything goes okay this year, and I don’t have to put on those elbow-length gloves again.
