lambie love

Last day of February embodies layers of meaning for me.

an urge to get into the country overwhelms me

the Gaspereau Valley is only minutes away

 

 

yet we don't get out there nearly often enough

 

the Gaspereau River runs through the valley

 

land or orchards

 

and vineyards

 

and other types of farms

 

today you may want to brace yourself for blurry shots of

 

sheep

 

and lambs

 

Lots

 

and lots

 

of lambs

 

pretty rare

 

and precious

 

 

for a city girl like me

 

I love watching the little critters

 

Their tender smiles

 

their innate innocence

 

too precious

too dear

 

and then suddenly they are bubbly

 

bounding about with abandon

 

no purpose no particular direction

 

even on mamas back

 

oops, a little confusion

 

and on another mamas back

 

it's all a bit much for mama

 

a fine sheep she is

 

a noble placid profile

 

 

and donkey watches on

 

a careful eye on the babies

 

Tomorrow, another installment of our country drive, so good for the soul.

let the animals show you how it's done
