Turns out it might be spring after all

[byslantedlight]

The rain stopped around lunchtime, so I went for a walk in the blustery wind after all, and look what I found - a scattering of blossom, then a little crop of crocuses...

Awwww! What cute babies! What kind of sheep are they, do you know?

[byslantedlight]

Aren't they a bit gorgeous! *g* They're Welsh Black, I think. There's four grown-up sheep, and more babies to come from... maybe two of them, I think. Sadly they're not in a field I can see from here (well, I can't see any fields from here, though I like it when the horses and I stick our heads out to see what's happening at the same time... *g*)

Thank you - they're so pretty... we've got what I think are Dorset sheep behind the cottage, but they're so big anyway, I can't tell if we're expecting or just... large!

More lambs - awww! I love the ewes reassuring their lambs at night, it's such a lovely peaceful sound.

It's a lovely sound, isn't it, sheepses talking to each other and their babes... Mind you, I like hearing roosters crowing in the morning too, and these days that's just considered mad...

I do like having animals around though - how lush to have sheep behind your cottage! Oh, I hope they're expecting for you... *g*

It *must* be spring with these sweet lambs ;-) At home it is a bit rainy and stormy, but there was some warm and sunny weather, too, so the winter is beaten!

[byslantedlight]

Yes! It must be spring, mustn't it! *g* Hurrah for beating winter, for one more year! *g*

What lovely little black lambs! And primroses make me happy too. What perfect pictures for the clocks gone forward day.

[byslantedlight]

They're a bit gorgeous, aren't they... *g* Primroses make me happy, and wee purple violets, and that it was light well after 7pm - even if it was a bit grey with it. It's spring!

[byslantedlight]

When I was scrolling down, looking at your pictures, I first thought the mother sheep was a bear, when just seeing the top of her back! :D
She and her babies look well "dressed" for the cool weather.
Yeah, spring!
The front yard here is just bursting with blossoms of all kinds. We had a very mild winter, and the tulips and daffodils are as good as done already.

[byslantedlight]

Hee - they do look a bit bear-like, don't they! I couldn't believe how sturdy the lambs looked after not even two hours in the (very blustery quite cold) world - just well they were well-dressed!

just bursting with blossoms of all kinds
That sounds just... glorious. *g*
