Lambs, lambs and more lambs!!

Some of you may have noticed that there haven't been much updating from Mulberry Lane and Branded for Him!  I was called into duty on Monday to spend some time with the baby.  They are SO overwhelmed with sickly lambs and mommas, bottle-fed lambs that when they finish with the group, it's time to start over again.  Since they are all working as hard as they can, little Paige hasn't been getting much attention and began acting up.  So, Gramma to the rescue!  I spend the afternoon and evening with Paige, and also made supper.  It certainly wasn't hard work, but it really helped the others out, as they could focus on their chores without feeling bad about not having much time for Paige.  She thoroughly enjoyed having "mama" at her beck and call,  lol. 

I felt so bad for Melissa and the girls as you could just see the exhaustion in their faces and there is nothing to be done to make their workload lighter.  Steven is able to be home for a few days which will help tremendously.  And I am "on call" if he gets called in to work, to go out and take care of Paige again.  Which is something that I absolutely love doing!

The lambs that are in the house are such sweeties.  They soon learn that when someone walks past, that it might mean a feeding.  They struggle to stand up and sometimes begin baaing for their human mommies to come take care of them.  Just before I left Monday nite, I picked up a little dark brown one that had won my heart, to give him (her?) one last cuddle.  He looked up at me and started sucking on my chin!  That was one sloppy kiss!!

Suddenly, I am getting a flurry of sewing jobs for the older people where I used to live.  I go there on Tuesdays to teach a BIble study class, and leave with one or two jobs.  I enjoy sewing and I like being able to help them out, as I charge them just a nominal fee.

Well, I'm back to my spring cleaning.  My living room looks SO nice, but you can hardly walk into my bedroom!  That's where I'm starting now--to get rid of more "STUFF".  I've been here about 1 1/2 years, and if I haven't used something during this time, it is getting either tossed or given away.  It feels so good to become free of the clutter.

Have a good week, all.

Blessings,  Mary

Lambing season

I can sympathize I don't see much of my family at this time of year as they are so busy with the lambing. I feel landing in on them with two adults and three children is just too much to expect. It's almost over for another year so I'll see my mum for a full weekend soon.
