Our oldest grandson was here visiting us over his spring vacation. I can't believe our very first grandchild is old enough to drive himself here over the mountains and far away from his home to visit us and help us out, but he is, and he did. He has helped us install the fencing around our pastures amongst other labor intensive work projects at our new home. Here he is holding newborn twin lambs.
A new lamb learning to nurse. ~This is Miriel, one of my Jacob Sheep ewes. She also gave birth to twins , both ram lambs ( boys). Thus far I have been very busy with lambing time, and also incubating and raising my new laying flock and also raising 100 fryer / broiler chicks for our freezer. Until mid-June I am going to be one busy lady tending new lambs, chicks, and hopefully my geese and ducks are successful at hatching out their own eggs. We'll see. Spring has definitely sprung and the snow has almost melted around
Laughing Dove Farm.
Thus far I have 11 new sets of twins and a set of triplets. I have 5 more ewes left to have their lambs and I am very thankful God has allowed all of my lambs to be born healthy and they're thriving. God is so good to me , beyond anything I deserve. Praise Him !

What a sweet visit from your Grandson. Love when they visit on their own. It shows that he loves being with y’all. Enjoy your evening with those cuties. Hugs
Oh I love this time of year! Your lambs are adorable, and indeed healthy babies are something to be thankful for. It is so fun to watch them get their land legs. Before you know it they are tearing around and having fun. Such a joy.
How nice that your grandson could make the drive to visit and help! Happy to hear your lambing went well!
I got lost doing the math but you are having a lot of newborn lambs. Your grandson is handsome and has a kind face. That he can drive over the hills to you place is wonderful. I do enjoy your blog.
