I already had a post ready for Easter, but the Easter bunny had other things in mind for us and our ewe Lego. She birthed two beautiful lambs in the wee morning hours. Liam and I had to check them out. They are really pooped out in this photo and were only semi dry. Quite a stir for the barnyard on this gorgeous Easter day.
Lego is such a terrific Mom. This is the second Easter in a row that the flock was blessed with healthy twins. The smallest of the two is a little girl and is next to Lego in this photo. She is completely black and has tiny little tight curls. To honor the day, she has been given the name Lily.
Here is a photo of her twin brother. He has some odd white markings on his face... Kinda makes him look like X-Men's Wolverine. Don't you think? LOL Keeping in the "L" names and inspired by the season, his name will be Leif. I know this photo makes him look big, but he is so small... Our little Spring Leif. :)
Luke the Llama was humming intermittently while I was there. He gets nervous like a new father. He does not want anyone getting these little ones excited. Here is a photo of him sniffing Lily to make sure she is okay after I touched her head. He kept edging me away from the pen. The little lambs are not even remotely frightened of his big face in front of theirs. It is so amazing how Luke bonds to his flock and with each lamb at birth. They are all his family... Such loyalty and an inspiration to witness.
Happy Easter!
