Now that spring's here, it seems everyone is 'flocking' to the farm. Hahahah! Get it? Cause I'm talking about sheep. And I said flocking. Funny, funny stuff here folks...
Biting wit aside, Truelove Farms is proud to welcome it's newest members: two (prego) Boer goat does, Eva and Annie, named in honor of two other 'ornery old broads, and four three-week-old lambs, Paul, Mick, Joe, and Topper, who I just named this moment after the four members of my favorite band, The Clash. It's ironic, you see, because The Clash were a rockin-ass punk band, and the lambs are just cute little lambs. Get it?
Eva and Annie are due to drop at the end of July, but in the mean time they're getting used to being on leads, snacking on briars, and learning the hysterically painful lessons of the electric fence. The lambs, in the way of all baby animals, are cuteness incarnate. I made a faux-udder for them out of a five gallon pail and four rubber nipples, and they all go to town together, tails wagging for that extra cuteness.
In other farm news, ten tiny pigs are proving to be more destructive than...several larger but less destructive things. Gotta work on the analogies.
