It’s Monday!

I am a morning and Monday person.  I love the early morning smell, feel and the sight of the sun rising.  I also like Monday mainly because it’s a day to reset for the week.  I do laundry. I try to pickup the weekend messes and just get the week going with a good attitude.  

This Monday I’m battling a funk.  I’m mad at my dogs they somehow got in my Muscovy pen yesterday and got my babies and mama.  I am thinking they bumped the gate just wrong and it popped open. It has never done that before.  Now it is wired.  Still I’m sad. Both dogs have strong instincts. One to herd one to hunt.  Combine them and I don’t leave them where they can get to my critters unless I’m around. They are good when I’m in eye shot.  But. I wasn’t. :(. So I have mopped and cried and fussed. I have also fought 
the funk by looking for joy this morning.  First joy I found on my circle was this.

Don’t you love the color?  Such a deep brown. It matches the very dry brown grass. 

Further around my circle I found this.

Yep TRIPLETS!   I kinda looked up and said “Really!?”  Some ewes I just pull the smallest or the ewe I like the color of best.  But I’m pretty sure this ewe has raised nice triplets before in the pasture.  So I will watch her a few days. I may move her to where she can have creep feed to help her.

It’s never had this many blooms at one time. It’s beautiful!

I’m off to town in a few to meet a friends brother get a baby lamb. Again joy. I am bummed I need to feed powder  instead of cow or goat but hopefully it will do well. I’m sure grands will be excited when they get home.
