Photos of Lambs!

So here we go - this first photo is Slipper's ewe lamb sired by Topple the magnificent. Isn't she beautiful?? And just look....she has her mom's rear foot dress spats! YAY!




And look who arrived early this morning? Caribbean had a big single ram lamb waiting for me when I got out at 6am for feeding. Good girl! His sire is Captain Hook. His nose is only half-covered in black, like a thumb print on the lip that missed the nose for the most part. His front legs are also interestingly colored. Maybe he'll have to be named 'Half-Dressed'????

YAY! A Ewe Lamb!

Forgive me, but it's been snowing and a muddy mess here for 3 days, so I need to get those photos!.But, Friday, April 10th, I found a wonderful surprise in one of the sheep pens - a beautiful spotted ewe lamb out of Minwawe Fairy sired by Minwawe Topple. She is a Krunet/Sokket/Smirslet/Yuglet? and sooooo very pretty!
Our first registered lamb of the season, I'll do my best to keep my camera dry and take a quick photo! Yay!

And Again........And Again!!


Ash on my pickup truck - taken around 8pm........

Redoubt is one busy volcano today! At least we got through heding lessons ok, then it blew up at 3:30pm. The ash cloud moved slowly and by 6:30pm ash was starting to fall from the sky. Then, at 7:25pm, it blew up again. The winds were quicker, we pulled up the radar loop and you could see the spot where it's located and the ash plume showed up on radar clear as a bell! Wild! The we watched it move quickly up the inlet towards us, splitting into two major clouds - one headed north towards Skwenta, the other right over us. You could see the dark cloud come over us too....it really was wild.

Just a busy little Volcano, isn't it? At 8:40am this morning, it blew up again to over 50,000 feet. I even got to see it on the radar this time - pretty cool!
