Christmas found the only spot of sun coming into the barn this morning, and curled up in it.

		<description><![CDATA[	Our six winter lambs are growing so quickly and so well it&#8217;s a joy to pop into the little mama corral each morning and see how they&#8217;ve changed in 24 hours. Yesterday I noticed that Polly&#8217;s Pretty and Precious have developed little caramel-colored booties on their feet &#8211; just adorable! 
	I have no problems playing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	I like to tell people that I&#8217;m my sow&#8217;s baby daddy, but that&#8217;s really only half true. The other half, this year, is Tex.
	Tex is the handsome, lean Berkshire boar who will be providing progeny via Fed Ex today. He presumably lives in Iowa, at a place called Swine Genetics International, living the life of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	Several years ago I wrote a post (later published as an article in Farming magazine) called The Dangers of Book Reading that accurately blamed the authors James Herriot, Wendell Berry and Gene Logsdon for the romantic madness that inspired us to move from inner-city Chicago to this remote Wisconsin farm. But there were certainly more [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	Fresh snow and fresh lambs &#8211; what could be better!? 
	Overnight, Polly delivered two adorable lambs and the sky delivered about four inches of fluffy snow. We like to have snow when babies are being born because it seems to insulate the barn and make everything cozy. Mornings like today are tough to beat &#8211; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	Polly is at the end of a peaceful easy twin delivery tonight. We suspect she may yet drop one more lamb, so we&#8217;re checking on her every half hour or so. But she seems very perky and comfortable with her two beautiful, clean ewe babies I&#8217;ve decided are Pretty and Precious. When she delivers the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	I like how the animals share. Here&#8217;s Petunia with Lacy, Macy and a pretty little hen.

Click on the picture to enlarge. It will take about a minute to load, but you&#8217;ll feel like you&#8217;re in the barn. You&#8217;ll even see the silver in my hen&#8217;s tail.

		<description><![CDATA[	Yeah, we have a fair amount of medical mysteries here on the farm, but we have an equally bewildering share of straight-up mechanical mysteries. Tonight, for instance, my husband Shannon headed off to a parents&#8217; meeting at the high school, only to find himself facing down three large steers at the end of our drive.

	Last spring, we began discussions about erecting a plastic film hoophouse or some other sort of greenhouse structure to give a head start to the thousands of plants we grow up in flats before transferring to [...]]]></description>
