this is my 3rd year lambing, and each year, it seems, somebody picks me out to be their friend. last year it was OWL. this year it’s KRONK. he misses no opportunities for a neck scritch or a nose-boop kiss. & I think that’s just about the best thing ever.

compulsive overconsumption ... we’re all vulnerable to it. this book helped me to understand the pleasure/pain balance, or, more accurately, my current pleasure/pain imbalance, and how it might be manifesting in my body. (highly recommend, if you’re interested too).

at 4am Miss Moira was in labor, and by 5am she needed my help. (not a lot, but a little bit). She pushed while I pulled, & we (she, mostly) got it done. Moira was one of my first lambs, 2 years ago, and this is her first bebe.

I have 5 ewes due over the next 5 days. it’s raining softly. our fed govt is being torn to shreds by a wanna-be-dictator-king and a South-African billionaire.
I hope you’re paying attention. I hope you can see where this leads. I hope all my lambs arrive safely. I hope we all have a future.
