Marvellous May

I love May because the first hints of summer begin to show themselves. The evenings get longer and everything is in full bloom - and my wee pet lambs are weaned off their milk and ready for walkies. I began the month with this year's oldest pet lamb, Spot.

"Oh, what a tasty home you have."

 

(It does look remarkably like Spot is getting chucked out of the house for trying to eat it!)

In the last few years, I've noticed some tiny wildflowers have started to grow in this field. From just a few scattered here and there, now there's a carpet of them. I had Susan out one evening to take advantage.

 

 

A few days later I was out with the flowers again, this time with Dot.

The pets watched us through the fence.

 

Just look at how many there are.

Beautiful.

 

Dot is an enthusiastic nibbler.

 

 

 

We took the back door into the lambing shed before returning Dot to her pen. This is always a dramatic spot for photos.

And that was May - not many photos because I was quite busy. Onwards to June...
