Sheep generally choose the coldest day of the year to have their babies. Yesterday it was -1 F in the height of the afternoon. Here you see the ladies and their birthing suite. Filled with hay, the tee pee makes a cozy place for new babies.
The farmer's year is often broken up by natural events, planting, harvesting, lambing to name a few. One of my favorite times of year is lambing. Somehow the freshness of the cold, and the warmth and newness of the lambs makes it feel like an exciting new beginning.
