Charlie Parker - yes, i know he's a white lambie. but he was such an early Bird this morning -- i saw him with his mama in the frosty field as it was just barely getting light -- that i just had to call him Charlie Parker -- though i guess he'd be "Fieldbird" rather than "Yardbird"! (if you don't know Charlie Parker's music, well.... no time like the present to start listening!)

Dot & Dotcom - today has been another lambie-intensive day! one single boy and two sets of twins so far. these twins look a lot alike, but the little boy has a black dot right in the middle of his back, and some brown on his ears and neck, so he's Dot and his sister is DotCom. (if you can have "A Boy Named Sue," why not a ram lamb named Dot?)(unfortunatley Dots mother lay on him over night and we were unable to revive him)

Lois & Clark - another set of lookalike twins this afternoon. feeling in an adventurous mood, i was going to name them Lewis & Clark, but then i remembered one is a girl. so i switched from the Voyage of Discovery mode to Superman mode, and now they're Lois and Clark. Unfortunately Clark crashed suddenly the night of the third and we were unable to save him.

Midnight Rambler - "Talkin about the Midnight Rambler / The one you never seen before..." he wasn't exactly born at midnight, but Ian found him when he went to the barn around 3:00 ayem to check. good timing, little one! lucky you were found before dawn!

Hunter - as i pulled into our driveway after a seemingly endless day at my outside j-o-b, i was thinking of the Robert Louis Stevenson poem "Requiem." as i peeked through a gap in the trees, i saw a big healthy new lambie in the pasture with his mama. as we brought them in to the barn, the poem was still echoing in my head, so i named him Hunter. (if you know the poem, you understand. if not, you will when you read it... do people still read poetry, i wonder??)

Bart & Lisa - my favorites are always the Shetland lambies, they are so impossibly cute! this afternoon we have two new Shetlands, a black boy and a white girl. i started calling the boy Black Bart, then that led to calling the twins Bart and Lisa. don't have a cow, man!

Oreo - Oreo is the absolute **prettiest** lambie so far this year. his markings are just gorgeous -- black legs and tummy, black top of his head, white in between, and that incredibly cute little Shetland face. such a beautiful baby

Flurry - After several nice days in a row today started cold and drizzly, i noticed this ewe staking a claim to a spot to give birth in, sure enough as the drizzle turned to a violent burst of rain and snow out popped a nice little white ewe lamb.

Onyx - the X-Files boys were born close together, one late last night, one early this morning. both are almost all black with just a tiny speck of white. this is last night's little Shetland boy, Onyx.
DOB: April 4, 11:45 pm Sire: Guiness, Ewe: G39 (53:31M,22F)

Oryx - this is the other X-Files boy, whom i found first thing this morning, already up and dry and fast as the wind! his name, of course, is Oryx. both X-Files boys are perfect little Shetlands, compact economy models, fleet and adorable.
DOB: April 5, aprox 6 am Sire: Guiness, Ewe: G38 (54:32M,22F)

Loretty - Loretty is a lovely little white girl lambie, she has a mellow voice that really carries, like Loretty Lynn, and she has a sweet and generous spirit, like my friend Loretty, so her name is twice ordained.
