Stories from the Farm

I think this is what the girls said to each other because it has been absolutely crazy here!  Since Elan was born on the 20th, we have had 15 new lambs.  This brings the total to 30, with 11 more girls left to lamb.

Here is a quick recap of the new babies and their names…

Delight’s ram lamb, Gallivanter – to go about in search of amusement.  He is such a cute little guy.

Amber’s lambs – Brouhaha, a noisy commotion or uproar, and his little sister Banshee, feminine spirit in Irish mythology.  The last week has been a noisy commotion for sure!

Celeste surprised me with this ewe lamb, Bountiful.  She is a big, chunky girl and Bountiful just fit 🙂

Veronica’s ram lamb, Gusto – hearty or keen enjoyment.

and her ewe lamb, Hoopla – joyous celebration.

Sahara had two more ewe lambs (lots of girls here this year, not really a good thing when you want boys).  Enigma – puzzling occurrence.

Quandary – a state of perplexity.

Girandole – spinning firework/showy composition, and Maelstrom – powerful whirlpool that sucks you in.  These are Savana’s ram lambs and they are keeping her very busy!

Canby had two adorable little girls.  She is a first time mom and gets an A+ from me.

Her girls are Persnickity – fussy about small details…

 and Panache – flamboyant.

Pacifica’s ram lamb, Rambler – one that rambles.

and her other ram lamb, Jester – joker, prankster, provides general entertainment.

Another one of my son’s ewes, Petunia, had a blue-eyed beauty.  He hasn’t come up with a name for her yet.  I can’t wait to see what he comes up with 🙂

Lamb races are just around the corner and I am enjoying this little break before the rest of the girls start lambing.
