[Homestead] Spring????

Well, went out to pick out lambs for youngest 4-H project.  Saw a couple of 
really nice ewe lambs if they get a new judge that knows what the heck to 
look for and a nice ram lamb if we get the same judge as last year (she 
likes "pretty" lambs, not good market lambs).

So, we're standing around talking about how the lambing went this year and 
how they got 3 sets of triplets.  One set was a REAL surprise because the 
ewe wasn't supposed to be bred.  She'd jumped a fence last year and had her 
udder ripped literally off.   As we're weighing the triplets (5 weeks, born 
8 pounds and weighed 35, 34 and 16 pounds, not bad weight gains and REALLY 
nice lambs), blessed if it doesn't start snowing!

Yep, SNOWING!  70 degrees yesterday and snow today!
