I've worked up quite an appetite before breakfast. Helped the guys stack 2 tons of straw that arrived first thing. Gorgeous, clean, honey golden bedding for my lambs. We go through at least 4 tons of it in a year. You should see the size of my compost pile.

Crazy windy here today, feels just like March. All the windows are closed up to keep the barn warm. Holly spread extra straw while she cleaned pens today. Everyone looks content. I can't say how much I appreciate Holly's help at this time of year, when I have so many demands on my energy and time. The barn is immaculate and she has her finger right on the pulse of the flock. She cares about the sheep as much as Mike and I do and tends to them as if they are her own. We love you, Holly!

Euphemia and Franklin found a cozy corner in the sun for a morning nap. I love the way twins are so bonded to one another and often sleep with bodies intertwined, as they were in the womb, I imagine.

Thanks for the great names for the lambs – had no idea there were so many good ones beginning with the letter "J". Thinking about using Jacoby, Jasper, Johnston, Janson, Jasmine and Jelly Bean, but haven't sorted it out yet. My brain's fuzzy from lack of sleep. At least no one lambed last night and I do hope they hold off today since it's so darn cold.
