Here is the new little guy, another ram lamb, who the kids have named Pepper.

Sammy the Lamby is now 11 days old and has at least doubled in weight.
We call it a project because there are lots of things going on here. We are a family of four living semi-rurally in our owner-built off-grid straw bale home, attachment parenting, homeschooling, farming and homesteading with two other family members on 10 acres. Our goals are self-sufficiency and sustainability as we prepare for the future while living joyfully in the present.

Lamb number two!
Yesterday morning Chris went out to tend to the sheep and sleepily said "hello Sammy" to the little black lamb in the pen before he realized that Sammy was missing his white head and tail. It was a new lamb!

It's about time you set up a camera so you can actually witness it. heehee
Bahhh, bahhh, black sheep....
Oh my—what a sweetie! Are you sure you're not willing to bring a little boy with you all the way to NC? I sooooo want one of your babies!
I know people ship animals all the time, but I'm ambivalent about it. Rather find them locally or regionally I guess. But to have a JennyChrisScottyEliza ram, now that might be worth it!
I want one. They don't have Navajo-Churros in the UK. Maybe I can bring one back in a little cat carrier under my seat on the plane? No, I'll just have to get by with something more local when I final decide to stay right where I am long enough to have a sheep or two.
