First snow of 2011

We had our first snow of the year on the 20th. We have 5 inches and it's still all over the place. Usually it melts away within a day but not this time and I've hear on weather.com that we're suspose to get more tonight and tomorrow night also.
Yikes!!!
I hope this means lots of green pasture this coming spring and summer and the hay field grows bales and bales of fresh hay for the coming winter.

We've got Snow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got up at 5 am this morning w/o a flake of snow, went about my business and the next time I checked outside at 9 am there was snow everywhere.
I now have a shade half open and I see the flakes just coming down like crazy once more.
Everyone is staying nested in their warm cozy beds this morning including my son Logan. Well he did get up to see the snow. I don't think he was to thrilled with it either.
I took several pictures this morning and am going to post them. The land is just beautiful when it first snows and nothing has walked on it yet.
I hope you all have a wonderful day too, be safe and keep warm.

Crippled Lamb

We were given a crippled lamb saturday afternoon. She couldn't stand on her front legs at all. She had been born earlier that day, one of triplets. The other two were bouncing all over with their momma when we went to pick her up.
She's a beautiful example of a black headed Dorper w/ very few black markings on her legs.
I've gotten her to stand up for a minute at a time several times today and am very optomistic that she will survive.
I have been trying to find anything online that I might do for her to help her regain the strength in her front legs.
I'll try to get some pictures of her tomorrow.
We're calling her Hope is she lives.
