I'm pleased to welcome our guest blogger (and all-around awesome daughter), Elise, to Sauðr eða Urðr! Elise has been blogging on Tumblr for about two years, and recently she was working on a couple of posts having to do with Daisy's lambs and our sheep, so I invited her to share her observations and thoughts with my readers! This post is all about our visit to Lee's farm to meet Daisy and her beautiful twin girls - I hope you enjoy it!

I'm apparently channeling my inner child today - as I was considering a title for this post, and thinking about the topic for said post, I suddenly remembered the delightful Sandra Boynton book, Moo, Baa, La La La:

When my children were little, we were HUGE fans of the Sandra Boynton board books, and I have to admit that my husband and I can still recite about 90% of The Going To Bed Book! Thank you to Sandra Boynton for years of awesome stories!!  But I digress...as I'm sure you're used to by now!

Ah yes...the many signs of spring...birds in the yard, soaking up the sunshine while finding their wormy dinners...the sprinkle of green across the wheat fields, letting us know that there will be crops in the fall...and Sheep Lumps in the backyard looking like woolly boulders:

This has been such a busy month - loads of updates with my Etsy shop - loads of knitting and spinning - and loads of SNOW! We were supposed to have another warm, dry winter like 2014, but we have gotten a couple of feet snow already, so we will definitely have a White Christmas tomorrow!

Well, the whole family has been a bit concerned about the sheepies...it has been so cold here, I've got my daughter wondering if there is a way to warm up their barn, and my husband wondering if they need clean, dry straw put down in their barn (my son doesn't say a lot, but he checks on them several times a day). Let me address these concerns.

Hello all and Happy Turkey Day to you! If you are in the US, then today is all about the big meal, possibly the football games, possibly the Macy's parade...but hopefully, it's also about family, friends, and gratitude! Today, I am grateful for my family, which includes the Trio and our other four-legged critters, my friends, our warm home, and everything in my life!

First off, let me share the Thanksgiving feast that I just took out to the sheep:
 

It's been snowing here, off and on...and quite often, if we get snow, it melts the next day! But every time I see those fluffy white flakes, I get this earworm stuck in my head - I absolutely adore White Christmas, so I honestly don't mind!
