Such a Lovely Day

We had five more lambs born last night, but none so far today. T says it looks like there are a number of ewes who look like they're going to pop any day now, so we may have a few busy days ahead of us.
Had one more bull calf born today as well.

Today was incredibly hot, and because I wasn't thinking I forgot to put on sunscreen; I now have a farmers burn (hopefully it will soon be a tan). DH and I brought the dogs to the lake for the first time this year, and were pleasantly surprised with the temperature of the water. Gertie was not impressed with swimming and was grumpy for about an hour after we got out of the water.

I planted my cucumbers (two types), carrots (two types), lettuce, spinach, beets, radishes, cabbages, and zucchini tonight; corn (two types), peas (two types), butternut squash and watermelon are all going in tomorrow. I'm sure I'll be taking pictures of my garden as it progresses (I'm just cool like that).

Little lambs chilling in a bale.

 First white faced heifer of the year.

I forced the heifer to take a picture with me :P .

It was so hot out that Pepper decided to sit in a container of water; Gertrude just drank it.

*One Hour Later: we have four more lambs. Also, hairless ewe has taken a turn for the worst, here's hoping she makes it through the night. *
