This and That

April is half-way over and my birthday is approaching once again. After the big bash last year, this year is going to be very low key. I wouldn't even mind if I wasn't reminded of what day it is. 

I am so close to graduation that I can taste it. I am officially finished with my Database Management and Software Implementation class, this Friday I have a final in my Introduction to Subject Analysis course (and it's open book, thank goodness. There is no way that I could remember all those rules), and I am now finished with my 70 practicum hours. I still have to write a 1,000 word essay on my work experience, but I am already half done with that. Graduation is on June 9th. I won't be attending, but I will watch the live streaming of it on the UFV website, cheering on my fellow classmates. 

Here are a few things that have been going on in our little corner of the world:

Will and Liam working on raising a few sprinkler heads in the back garden. 









Lucy is usually a pretty cautious cat, but she was quite interested in this box. 









A bird in the bath. 

We had a hail storm one afternoon. The trampoline, pool cover and grass was almost completely white. 






After the storm

The lambs are finally here! Normally we start seeing the lambs out in the field maybe days after they are born. This year they were just a little bit older when they were allowed out. They are already running and jumping and venturing away from their mothers. 




I love their long tails.

Wow, you are almost there! What are you going to do with all that time you will have once you are done with school?!

Awww... cute little lambs! I didn't know sheep have long tails until Faith rescued two sheep just before Thanksgiving last year. One has a long tail, the other has a short tail. Sheep have long tails, but they are routinely docked. :(

I didn't realize that sheep had long tails either until we moved to this house. The sheep behind us have their tales docked, but they don't do it with the lambs. They have long tails up until they go to where ever they go. I'm not quite sure why they raise sheep, but the lambs are there until they are almost full grown. I love watching them. I wish they were in the field directly behind us and not two down. I would love to pet them.
