A Picture as Promised

New LambOnly one of the little buggers would hold still long enough, but since they're virtually identical I figured it wouldn't make much difference. Haven't named them yet, but note the black strip on this one's head. They both have it, and it's a stain, not a coat color. You see, they haven't quite figured out that the most efficient way to nurse is from the side, not the back. And the back end of a sheep very often has material that'll mark you... but at least it doesn't smell too bad. Yet.

I've seen plenty of lambs out here, but these two take the cuteness cake. One curled up in the feed bowl we had set out for her momma and went sound asleep. Neither seems to have any fear of the farmer or the farmeress - they'll just trot right up, curious as to what you're doing. They bleated in unison at Lorraine when she was feeding the cats tonight - and watched practically our every move all day. When they weren't sleeping, anyway.

I have a feeling that these two are gonna be a trip - surprise, indeed.
