Time that my girls look forward to every year...spring time in Iowa.
Grandpa has downsized not only his sheep herd but this year for the first time in a very long time, there are no pigs.
oh, these sweet sweet lambie faces!
The girls were so eager to help...Grandpa called Isabelle over to help with tagging the lambs.
Grandpa was teasing the girls earlier on where their tail went when they were born.
A friendly one taking a nibble on Isabelle's fingers.
Isabelle is the center of attention!
Meanwhile, this dog-loving girl finds sweet Sadie lying in the grass.
Isabelle, Allie and I helped Grandpa catch, band and give shots to dozens of lambs, move lambs and the ewes and bed the barn. They were so timid in the beginning but by the end were catching and wrangling all sizes and bringing them over. They absolutely loved it...and I enjoyed being able to help too. I spent a lot of my childhood being my dad's helper. It wasn't easy but now as an adult I can look back with gratitude of being taught discipline, serving and life on the farm.
Juliette had to get some cuddles in too!
End of winter Iowa sunsets, empty fields, wagons and scattered equipment ready for spring planting and the harvest that will eventually be here before we know it.
Some of their cousins were able to spend the night and it is just such a fun time for them. We had Casey's pizza and Dilly bars from DQ!
