Entry for May 29, 2008 ![]() We've had a few more lambs since I posted last. Serenade has a set of absolutely gorgeous ewe lambs I think I will name Sarabande and Symphony. This picture is of Symphony. Its funny to hear Serenade call her lambs. She has a very loud and mournful baaaaa - very much like a foghorn. Her mother, Belle, and full sister, Sonata, both had the same foghorn sound. And Arlene has a little ram lamb. She never lets him get far enough away to have to call him. :^) I'm expecting Brianne to lamb next - and very soon. Besides her, we still have Aria, Celestia, Hannalore, & Kerryn who are definitely pregnant and will lamb soon. 2 others, Aislinn and Nocturne, should be bred, but don't really show signs, so they are either very late, or missed breeding. I did not post on Memorial Day, but we had the Rodenfels clan over. There were 21 of us, with 2 nephew's families and Chuck's daughter missing that day. We smoked a lamb leg, pork loin, and turkey breast and had sandwiches, salads and desserts. The weather was very nice - cloudy but in the mid 80s, and the rain held off until about 1/2 hour after everyone left. By that time, Chuck and I had straightened up a bit and crashed in our chairs, so the rain was a welcomed backdrop for snoozing before time for evening chores. 2008-05-29 15:08:05 GMT
