Another Set of Twins

I opened the door to the barn and heard a familiar sound, the tiny little baaas of newborns and the mother-speak of a just delivered ewe. Sure enough, there were tiny newborn twins tip-toeing around their mother, savoring the newfound freedom of their limbs in all that cold air. Sometimes they come out almost clean, and sometimes they are really messy. The little ewe-lamb was covered with slime and dirt. I think mom had gone to work on the ram-lamb first. She's a real good mom and there was no problem getting them all in the jug. The twins are tiny and I have to keep an eye on them. They are up and looking for the teats - a good sign. I also have to knit some more sweaters a bit longer! Their tiny bony butt ends are exposed to the frigid cold!
