Stubborn, Stubborn Lamb

Well the time has come for my kids to sell the 4-H lambs they’ve been raising for the last several months.  Starting Wednesday we haul their animals in, Thursday they show and Saturday they’re auctioned off.

Wesley decided, with strong encouragement, that it was high time to work with his lamb, Billy.  But lambs, as Wesley experienced, can be quite stubborn. 

First things started off with a smile – even if it was just a courtesy smile.

But just minutes later, fierce determination had set in.

"Billy, get moving."

"Ha!  Just try and make me!"

"You’re going to move if. I. have. to …. IF. I. HAVE. TO. bite my tongue off!"

With that dire threat and sheer muscle, Billy started to move. 

Besides understanding more clearly why the Bible says what it says about lambs, and just how thick their wool can be, among other things, Justus (4yos)  has discovered how much fun it is to ride a bronc lamb.  You can really get a good grip with all that wool. 

But sometimes it doesn’t really matter.

Have a great week.  I don’t know if I’ll get another chance to post this week since we’ll be busy with 4-H AND my husband is taking me away for our 19th anniversary on Tuesday & Wednesday.  I tried to tell him I was too busy but he wouldn’t hear of it.  I guess I’ll just have to suffer not getting to cook and clean for two days.
