After a few lambing seasons of having a majority ram lambs, we have had mostly ewes born this year, which will rejuvenate our Shetland flock. This ewe lamb was born yesterday to an excellent mother, one of my favorite ewes.

I am looking for a way to sync my Scrivener projects to an Android phone app so I can work on the go. What suggestions do you have for working with Scrivener on Android? #WritingCommunity #amwriting #WIP

High winds and thunderstorms coming in today. I just got off the tractor, and it got cold up there with the wind cutting west to east!

With feels-like temps at -8 F last night and real at 0 F this morning, there was ice to break in the stock tanks. Last year, we began using multiple small tanks instead of one big tank. That helped keep the water liquid for longer. Doing that again this year. So far, so good! #agsky #farming

-5 F for the low temp today. I'm glad we still have a lot of snow around; it makes the cold fun, especially when watching dogs and kitties play in the snow. #inwx

Mia the Sheepdog-in-Training. Her abilities are fascinating. During the photo shoot, she heard or saw something I couldn't hear or see and so looked off into the distance the whole time. She learns commands quickly, too, and it's fun working on new tasks with her.

Flew to Des Moines yesterday, about to fly home. My org's exec. dir. and I strategized for the #conservation #ag tour we're leading in S. Dakota this May, then we met with a board member and marketer for great food and convos that turned into LOTR and NZ discussions. My brain is happy 🙂 #soilhealth

Seven inches of snow here. It was relaxing watching it fall yesterday. Birds flitted from branch to branch of the juniper tree outside our bedroom window.

The Hillside Pasture holds some of my favorite views on the farm. From one ridge, I can look out over the Creekside Field and see the cows grazing half a mile away. At the back gate, I can see the sheep, goats, and llamas gathered around the hay feeders. sylvansundays.beehiiv.com/p/the-hillsi...

I've always loved seeing snow through the end of the covered bridge. Today, on our way home from chores, I had the chance to make a photo of it. So here's a snapshot into the view I see on my daily drive.

I'm listening to the U.K.'s Classic FM via the Global Player app as I work this evening. The music is so calming and beautiful; I've written down several titles to listen to again later.

A lovely start to the New Year with a First Day Hike at a local nature area. A TV reporter walked with us, and I was interviewed for the 6 p.m. news! I'll post the link here when the video is uploaded to the news site 🙂

These two photos have the same vantage point: the window of a covered bridge. First photo was taken Nov. 13, second was taken today. I'm thankful for all the water we're getting; we need it. #inwx #agsky
