Since his mother Intrepid went away to jump fences elsewhere, Rex is in intensive training with the pater familias.  They seem to be enjoying their time together, chomping on Queen Anne’s Lace, shooting the breeze, and chewing their cud.

Lambs don’t usually arrive when it’s time to make hay.  But this summer we had a big surprise!

Even the momma looked surprised to suddenly claim a dependent.

All the rest of the lambs are growing up nicely and benefitting from the lush summer pasture as well as the occasional stolen mouthful of their mother’s milk.

Last year’s Little Orphan Annie is just as friendly as ever.

Everybody’s looking for shade on hot days like these.
