I love spring.  When the earth finally tilts enough for nature to be pulled out of the grips of winter and bloom again. It is such a relief to finally see grass sprouting and days getting warmer. However, I do not think I love spring as much as the sheep.  They wait in anticipation for when we finally let them out for the first time. We like to wait until the grass has a good growth on it before we actually turn the sheep out for the grazing season, but we typically will turn them out, for a couple hours when the sun is out once spring comes around. Here are some pictures of their joy on being let out for the first time this spring.

Last year we had three ewe lambs. They were the first of our born on the farm flock. Today I caught them all laying together.
