When you live in the country sometimes your neighbors aren't just humans! Some of our neighbors are cows, horses, chickens, and sheep. And each year when springtime rolls around there are little lambs frolicking about in the fields.
If you've ever read a nursery rhyme about lambs the illustrations usually show them jumping and kicking up their heels in joyful abandon. And that's not just some charming idealized image of baby sheep, these little lambs bounce and prance as if they have springs in their tiny feet!
They make the most of each and every moment, chasing one another, playing king of the hill, and just having fun! They are the pure embodiment of carefree living!
And like humans, their parents are always keeping a watchful on them as well, making sure that they stay out of harms way.
It's magical this time of year in my neighborhood, with the flowers blooming, the smell of freshly cut grass filling the air, and we all stop to watch these wonderful creatures grow with each passing day! As we drive by the sheep farm each day on our way home, it's not unusual to see 2 or 3 cars pulled over just watching the lambs living life to the fullest.
Thank you to everyone for your lovely comments about my house tour! Your support and kind words always warm my heart!
