It's sunny out. What a treat! The sky is blue and the rye grass field across the street is a brilliant green. It's breezy, but that's good. Hopefully some wind will start to dry things out. We've had enough rain now that our cellar (about 10 x 10) is flooded and we've had to start the pump--otherwise our water heater is under water. I found water damage in my shop--but relatively minor--a few books. I need to put plastic over the outside of the A/C unit because the rain leaks in there. I'm on lamb watch today. Lucy is due on Wednesday by the calendar, but she looks ready now. Or maybe it's just that I'm ready. The first two lambs were born a week ago and that seems ages ago now. Speaking of Lucy, her fleece was beautiful when we sheared--long and soft. I kept her twin ewe lambs, Laura and Linda, from 2007 and their fleeces are spectacular. The wool is at least 5" long with nice crimp and very soft. Laura is mostly black and what a deep rich black she is. Her fleece was snatched up right away. To think that I considered culling Laura because her hind legs aren't very good and I can't keep everyone. I guess she never needs to go to a sheep show--she can just stay here and grow wool and lambs.

 I haven't figured out how to add photos to this blog yet. I'll work on that today.
