The Black-Faced Ewe

As I admire the Black-Faced Ewe, I marvel at how motherhood has changed her.


She is no longer the teen-aged girl, who, when I opened the stall door, charged toward me and jumped, head-down, into the air.

Her head hitting my sternum took my breath away.

Yet, I kept her.

Last night, she had her first set of lambs -- twin ewe lambs.


When I look at them, I feel a twinge in my chest.


(Lambs are about 18 hours old in these photos).
