First Time Out

Mama and boys are out on the hillside now.  It's a big scary place for a mother and babies.  Evening is coming on in this picture and Miss Mamie is looking around for anything dangerous that might threaten her lambs.  She doesn't take them too far up where the good grazing is, and prefers to stay close to the barnyard, just in case.  Rudolfo and Marcello are both wethers now - neither here nor there.  I love these sweet boys.  Rudolfo still gets a bottle once a day, but doesn't take much.  When he hears my voice he leaps and dances over to me, which always gives me a thrill.  I guess that's why I keep giving him a bottle he doesn't really need.
