OUR WOLD & Nature Notes - Crutching Time

Today it is 5 years and 900+ posts since I made a 

tentative hop into the blogosphere

it kept me sane during the dark years of my 

husbands advancing 

dementia

step by step, I connected with many like minded bloggers

many of them became friends

one particular friend is still fighting the good daily fight in 

caring for her husband at home

I greatly respect her indomitable courage

for all this and much, much more, I am eternally grateful

Panda and her twins in the sheep yards

a little unsure of me standing at the gate 

and opting for a comforting suckle

another set of twins, this time a mixed pair

the season has been crazy, the sheep are lambing 

a good month early

play time

when one starts levitating, the others instantly join in

the light was not ideal for action shots

but I'm sure you get the idea

unfortunately a few sheep went to the big wooly white ram in 

the sky, they got too stressed being so close to lambing

but there was nothing else to be done, they just had to be 

crutched before the lambs drop, their rear ends were filthy from 

eating lush wet grass and given a sunny day, 

fly strike was a distinct possibility.

Thank you all for being such kind commenters over the years

you comments helped me greatly in the tough times.
