Here are a few glimpses from this week: The lambs checking for the newspaper, the yearlings and Caitlyn drying off in front of the fans after a thunderstorm, and Belle meditating in a quiet corner of the barn late one afternoon.

Lily’s debut was four weeks early which took all of us by surprise; she’s the cutest little lamb of all and I’ll post pictures soon.
