The Frolicking Lamb

Mar
10

I’m starting to transition Annabelle to spending some time in the goat yard because she’s two months old and she weighs 30 pounds. I think it might look weird when she weighs 150 pounds and is still sleeping on her blankie on the porch and drinking a bottle, so as much as I want her to be a little lambkin forever, I have to teach her that she is a sheep.

The other sheep might need to be taught that she’s a sheep, too.

The Miss Jacobs: “What is that thing?”

Annabelle tries to make friends.

But then she starts frolicking.

And they are having none of it.

And she leaps.

And she lands.

She stops for a second to think of what to do next.

…..because she’s really just a wee lamb, after all.

The Slanted Little House

"It was a cold wintry day when I brought my children to live in rural West Virginia. The farmhouse was one hundred years old, there was already snow on the ground, and the heat was sparse-—as was the insulation. The floors weren’t even, either. My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....
