Spring on the Farm

 Our friends, the Bauchers, have a farm.  Riley loves to go out any chance he can to help with whatever they need help with.  This last week, Patty invited us to come over and see the little lambs that were born just a week or so ago.  This white ewe on the top is named Amy.  She is very friendly and was the only sheep that hadn't delivered yet.  They also have a dog named Elli, but nothing named Adam.

 Patty explained the cycles of the sheep and how many times they can have babies and all that stuff.   It was a lot for Amy to take in.

 Although it was a chilly night, the barn was nice and toasty and the lambs were getting their warm glass of milk before bedtime.

A couple of them even played around.  I doubt the moms appreciated us getting the kids all wound up.

New Donkey

 The Bauchers always seem to have something new every time we visit.  This time it was a donkey.  Last time it was a Mastiff puppy.  The puppy is very big already, just after a few months!

 We learned that a donkey is a great protector and Patty wants it to protect her sheep.  First it has to be introduced to the man sheep and then it will be ready to meet the lady sheep.  Very interesting!  Adam was worried the donkey was going to get mad at my camera.

I had avoided using my flash so I would not scare the animals, which explains the blurry photos.  But, I decided to try it for this picture and it did scare the donkey.  It tried to get back and started taking Elli with it.  I wish I could remember the donkey's name.  I know it's not Daisy.  Anyways, we love the Baucher's farm and are so happy we have the chance to see what it is like.  Maybe someday we'll have a small one of our own....
