Tonight on the farm we had two lambs born with polka dots! I have never seen such individual markings on a lamb before. To my delight, they are both females, so I am trying to persuade my husband to keep them for mummys next year. We can only dream!....They are so cute!
Now you are probablly wondering what a blue Mummy is!!! I'll explain... Gone are the days of feeding pet lambs with milk bottles in both hands and a couple between your legs!
This is their 'new' mummy! She's a self mixing, whisking, milk machine, which feeds them 24hrs a day, just like a real wooly mummy!
It's a sign! All things polkadot... you could have them like mascots marching before you whenever you go to do a craft fair!

ooooooooooh how cute. Polka lambs and quintuplets. I'm a new reader with a hugely envious desire to live your lifestyle in this lovely weather we've been having! (NOt sure about the dark wet and dismal days though!) Picked up 2 ex-batt hens from a farm in you region last week and that's as close as I'm going to get! Loving that much though, as the rest I can read from your blog!
