I always look forward to the early signs of spring. The daffodils starting to bud, the early tulips poking out of the ground, and the grass slowly getting greener.
Other signs of spring are the lambs which arrived quickly this year, and are now slowing down. We have a ewe who should lamb any day (or week) now. The rest of our younger ewes, who will be first time mothers, look like they will be lambing at the end of the month or sometime in April. It is hard to say, but they are definitely pregnant.
It is looking like a good lambing year for us. We now have two sets of ram twins and a set of ewe twins. This will be our first ewes from this ram, who I was beginning to think would not produce a ewe.
Other than the lambs and flowers, spring is not arriving quickly enough weather wise. We did get a glimpse of warmer weather this past weekend, but are back in the thirties with snow flurries today. I guess it still is too early for warm weather to stay. I cannot wait to put the winter clothes away until next season!

What an adorable face! Thanks for sharing your pics.
Like you, I am ready to put the heavy sweaters and fleeces away. I'll take days like today!
