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.
