I'll Trade You This Sleeping Baby... A Different Kind Of Giveaway!

Well, a couple pictures of a this adorable sleeping baby...for a commenting test ;-).  

I keep getting emails from friends about not being able to leave comments, but I haven't had the time/brain power/courage to look into what could be wrong.  I hate that not only am I missing your thoughts and suggestions, but when they are emailed to me (which is great, don't get me wrong!) they don't stay attached to the posts for my memories.

SO, I just did some googling and find that I am not the only one having this issue.  It was suggested to switch the comments from "embedded" to "pop up", which I have now done.  Could you take a few seconds to test this out and let me know if it's working, especially those who have been unable to leave comments in the past?

On Wednesday I'll have 20 draw for a prize.  It won't be this adorable lamb who I know just totally loved me and wanted to come home with me yesterday, but her momma said NO!  Along with that badger faced lambie from Instagram who has a mom and a sister who both said NO!

How about a Punkin's Patch tote bag?



When they fall so sound asleep that their heads fall back/over/down...  Just nothing sweeter than holding a baby lamb :-).

Gloria said...

ahhhh, sweetest baby in the world but since she is not a bummer, I guess she has to stay at lamb camp.

go hitting publish.

Kbdoolin said...

KC said...

I love your blog;) I would love to hold a baby lamb. They are adorable!

SJG said...

Grey Horse Matters said...

I've never ad a problem leaving a comment so no help from me. What a sweetie. Wish I could give him a hug too.

Lisa W said...

I've never had trouble leaving a comment :-) Please tell St. Tim that you need to take this lamb home, once mama will let you!

KatieB said...

Always love the lambie pictures!

OH I hope this works as usually I get a bunch of tests to prove I am not a robot... which I do not think I am but might be ha ha LOVE the picture and if only in NOrthfield I could find a place to hold one I would go as it might maintain stability and hope right now ..I love all your sheep and you too Blessings to all there from here..Merrixxx

D Louise said...

Ooh.. so sorry he couldn't go home with you...

thecrazysheeplady said...

WHAT?!? Should NOT be any verification thing :-o. Who else is seeing that?

thecrazysheeplady said...

Okay, if you see the robot thing, ignore it and just hit publish. Don't know why that works (at least for me), but it does.

Ruth said...

I've never had any trouble with commenting - yesterday I didn't shut up! :)

Patty Lee said...

So great to be able to make comments! I love your blog. Went back and read it from the beginning.

Laurie in Maine said...

Tried using my tablet but google wanted me to sign in and take a HOW MANY MOUNTAINS DO YOU SEE test, plus promise I wasn't a robot. And then said I didn't know my password... so not your blogs fault! Laptop: test 2...

janna e said...

I've personally never had trouble in the past. Hopefully all is working better for everyone now. If I win, tell 20 that I'd happily take either a tote bag or a lamb!

Sheepmom said...

Love the coloration! Looks like my Cotswold babies. Those silver grays are so shiny. Would love to hug on that one.

Linda said...

What a pretty little lamby!

Susan said...

OMG! I CAN POST A COMMENT!!!! I am so happy! Not as happy as I would be should I be holding that darling lamb and taking it home, but happy nonetheless!

Sybil said...

I love your blog, enjoy reading about life on your farm.

Jean said...

Lamb snorgling - best job ever!!
Have a great day Sara!

Jean said...

It let me publish without proving I am not a robot, though the box shows up

Deb said...

What a sweet baby lamb! I enjoyed seeing Andy learn about the sheep cart. He is such a smart boy.

Unknown said...

Doesn't look any different than before but testing comments for you.

ElaineChicago said...

Such a Precious Lambie!!

Lori Skoog said...

You have always gotten my comments...right? Love the lambie.

Anonymous said...

Sure hoping this works. It's been ages since I've been allowed to post a comment. And should 20 happen to choose my name, you can tell him I'd really love to have a lambie. But, a tote bag to take to the Woodstock Fleece Festival this October would be great advertising for Equinox Farm - if I can keep it away from my daughter and granddaughter!

Bless all the lambs and the mommas and the shepherds too!

Such a sweet picture. Makes me want to quit my job and raise sheep!

Michelle said...

I don't recall ever having a problem commenting here, but I would love a tote bag! And I have NEVER had a Shetland lamb fall asleep like that, no matter how much they love me. Too much alertness in the primitive breed, I'm guessing. ;-)

Cheryl West said...

I had no problems in the past. You have a wealth of sweet lambies this year and hope you can bring home at least one.

Maggie said...

Got to hold a sleeping lamb for the first time this spring! Simply precious! Thanks for sharing.

LannieK said...

Comment section now looks totally different... Hope you see more :-)
That is the sweetest little lamb. Maybe you can "follow" him for us... Maybe. Beautiful coloring.

DianeOart said...

Never got a problem to post a comment here in the past but testing if this works... that is the sleeping beauty story for lambs ;) love the pictures.

MarmePurl said...

I keep waiting and waiting to see just who will go home with you...
...not that you are a creature of habit or anything like that.

Windswept Farm said...

Rarely comment but can't resist a give away.

Cheryl said...

Took a minute, but here I am. Love your lambies.

Theresa said...

love your blog, so glad you got the comments up and running. your sheep are delightful and your love for them shine through.

Kathy said...

I never had a problem before, now a "blogger" box pops up to put the comment in. The problem I have noticed for the last week is that I don't get the current days post, they arrive the next day. All the lambs are so cute! Oops just noticed the "I'm not a robot" box.

Kathy said...

And it posted without checking the "robot" box.

Maspinner@gmail.com said...

I love this blog above all others! I forward to my daughter in California and she shares with her colleagues. It's just grand.

You work incredibly hard and it's so appreciated.

Sleeping lamb...doesn't get any better than that

kridge622 said...

Love all the lamb pics! Also,really enjoyed the series of the sheep learning to tolerate the cart.

thecrazysheeplady said...

Rats. Now I can't "reply" to individual comments. What on earth! Why does this have to be so hard?!? ARGH!!!

Susan (and SmokeyBlue in spirit) said...

I'm one of those who wasn't able to leave a comment.
Glad to be able to do that now.
However I have to scroll allllllllllll the waaaaaaaay dowwwwwwn to past the last comment to click on post a comment. Hmmnnnnn
Such sweet lambies. I do so enjoy your daily postings and am happy to be able to respond now.
Hugs.

thecrazysheeplady said...

Ah, not to worry. I seldom get 45 comments ;-). But it sure has been fun!

Opallady said...

I'll be delighted to comment on every post if this works for me now! It may not be just your adjustment that help me post for I've also acquired a second email address to use for situations like this.

Truly your blog posts are a joy to read and the lamb photos videos this spring have been extra special.

I need orange said...

So cute..... :-)

Dona said...

Such a darling lamb! (I am one who could not post, maybe password issues?)

knitski said...

I am not sure what I have on my blog for comments---will have to look---Thanks for sharing your world with us always fun to drop by and see what is happening!

Linda said...

Oh! How I wish I could be there to hold one! They are so sweet!! Just love it!

Patti said...

Is lamb breath as good as puppy breath? Love your photos and I appreciate you taking time from your busy schedule on the farm to include those of us not privileged to care for such wonderful creatures.

Marilyn F. said...

Hello Sarah - I hope this works as I've wanted to leave comments forever. Really enjoy your blog and your comedic comments - always good for a laugh. Also love your sheep and the beautiful projects you make from their wool. Thanks for giving us our sheep fix.

Celeste said...

Aww, I'm dying of the cuteness!

Auntie Reg said...

The comment box is different for me. This is a test right

Anonymous said...

Howdy!

Haven't written in awhile so haven't noticed any issues.

Loved the videos, especially when the newborn lamb made just the tiniest of those special baby baas to his/her mom. That's the part I miss the most about not having sheep any more...

Diane

Cappy said...

Awwww!

Was a stock handler at a sheep dog trial this past weekend. Lots of sheep!

And Andy carting... Woohoo!

paula said...

Precious lamb, great pics as always.

Janie said...

It is working! Good for you. When I try to read those directions about anything technical....😭

Shirley said...

Never had trouble leaving comments- but I must say I like the pop up option best, as it allows you to comment on another post without having to scroll down to the "newer post" or "older post" buttons.
Maybe pass on to your commenters that you can totally ignore the "Prove You are Not a Robot captcha and comment anyway.

Shirley said...

Oops- I see you already did that- duh!

Anonymous said...

Don't leave a comment usually, but will help with test. And I love bags! Love reading about your sheep since I have none of my own, sadly.

Testing, testing, one, two, three.

I don't post often, but thought this would be a great opportunity since you are checking to see if all is well in your comment blog. This lamb season has really been so much fun. Especially for me as I live in Carlsbad, Ca in an urban setting. Just love the little lambs and their Moms and all the happiness at your farm.

Delrene said...

I will check back later to see if my comment posted. Sweet lambs.

Susan M said...

Let's see if this works.....all of a sudden your website is taking forever to load and hard to scroll down....NEVER had that problem before.....

Andrea Ostapovitch said...

Yay!!! I can comment! Now I have don't have to keep it all bottled up - That wee lamb is so sweet, my teeth are hurting. Could have something to do with this chocolate Easter bunny beside me too...
Thank-you so much for fixing this, I am so happy to be here.

Andrea

Strange format but at least I can leave a comment now!! Thanks for all the lovely lambies. And the jigsaws :)

Oh my gosh, that lamb is so unutterably cute! I love the way he was looking into your eyes, until he started counting- sheep?

I'm not having a problem with posting comments, but for the past month, my server/ISP has been evil and has delayed transmitting your blog posting until the day after the posting. I especially dislike this when it delays adorable lamb photos (and as I have yet to see a lamb that isn't adorable, this is maddening! (My cell phone carrier, however, transmits on time. So I get to see those adorable lamb photos twice 😃)

Surely some ewe will let her adopt one of her babies? Gosh, there have been so many splendid candidates this year.

Anonymous said...

i don't post often, so haven't had a problem until recently. now when i click on your posts, either from my email or on the web, the site comes up and scrolls in fits and starts, as SUSAN M. mentions above, and typing this comment has been a little like that. i type a section or a sentence or two, and then it freezes for a second or two and goes on. this started two or three weeks ago, when you first posted about having trouble with your site and trying to fix it. it's only your site that it happens on. it's only a minor inconvenience, as i loves me some lambies and farm stuff to read about, but something definitely changed about three weeks ago. and for those keeping score at home, i just tried to post this and it wouldn't let me ignore the captcha/robot thingie. --suz in NE ohio (used to live/work in cincinnati, so your beautiful farm area is familiar to me)

ewespin said...

I think I like the "pop up" format better than the "embedded" comment view because I can still scroll the blog up or down at the same time the comments are open to read or add to. I, too look at the blog almost every day, but seldom comment.

thecrazysheeplady said...

Laurie in Maine - GOOD GRIEF!!!

Patti - lamb breath is Much Better than puppy breath :-D

Diane - the baby baa on the video is the very best part ever. I've gone back and watched it a couple times now. He is one of the bouncing lambs on yesterday's Instagram video :-).

Suz in NE Ohio - can you email me so I can ask you some more questions please? Computer stuff... grrrrr!
