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.

New lambs!
Just yesterday we had some lambs born! The ewe that had them is our best mother and most prolific ewe. In fact, this time she had triplets but unfortunately one of them was stillborn. The two that survived are both little girls! The timing was pretty bad, because we are into quite a cold snap, with daytime highs below freezing and overnights in the single digits, but the girls survived their first night just fine and are doing well today. Scotty is quite taken with them so we got one out today for him to hold.

I have a series of childhood memories that involve baby sheep, and the times up to and including their arrival, and their growing. i'd like to tell one of these stories... may i link to your story and photographs? (which are beautiful, by the way)
Of course!
Scotty took the most beautiful of all I think.
Just too precious, Jen!
Love,

Wow, everybody at your place has been busy lately—even the sheep!
They are sooo cute! I can't wait for lambs. We have a buck visiting now, so hopefully we'll have another goatie or two come spring. They're pretty darned cute, but I hate the disbudding.
I can already taste the mint jelly...Yum!
