Rain at last

13 mm of rain has fallen over the past few days bringing much relief to the very dry pasture and crops. More rain coming on Wednesday, I hope it buckets down. We need it. This is our second dry year in a row and we are getting sick of feeding sheep in the winter. Nothing however like it is up North where they havn't had any rain for two years.
We have two pet lambs at the moment, Tippy and Bickie. Both abandoned from there mums. It's just the season we are having. If a ewe thinks she can do better without the lamb she will just walk away. It doesn't happen very often, just natures way of surviving I guess. Cinderella and Za-Za love them, and they make great pets. I made them a little house out of the wood shed today instead of doing the cementing as mentioned in the last post. It is Sunday!
