"It's me, Baba! Actually my name is Blossom, but everyone calls me Baba or Babababa. I'm going to be 11 next month. I've lived here since I was just a couple days old."
"This is one of my mom's favorite pictures of me."
"This is one of mine. I jumped up on mom's camping cot when she moved me out to the barn and decided I wanted to sleep on a cot all the time. I eventually got too big, but it was sure fun while it lasted."
Baba was a funny lamb. She and Betsy were best friends and she loved Hank a lot too. Blizzard ended up being her best sheep babysitter. I'd forgotten about that. She was always (and still is) a good napper. The cot was the funniest thing though. I think that cot lasted a couple of months out there!
There are a bunch of good stories and pictures if you scroll back through. You can either use the "Blossom" or "Baba" labels on the right hand side of the blog or jump back to the 2012 archives. She got here in April.
Blossom is mostly Texel with some other breeds mixed in. I've always loved her classic sheepy beauty. She has produced an amazing amount of wool in her 11 years here. Her wool is easy to process and spin and is a really good for beginning spinners. I include it in every drop spindle kit.
She loves to watch what's going on around her...when she's awake. There is an hysterical video of her on IG watching Archie playing in the straw when he was a kitten. I'd love to include it here, but I'm tired and need to call it a night. Maybe tomorrow.
How about a Jacob sheep for next week? Any requests?

How about Tabitha as the Jacob sheep of the week. She seems just a tad less aloof than the other Jacobs. She looks like she is wearing lipstick. And that crazy horn - it looks like she is giving the finger!
Aw, that means I have a bit of Blossom in my drop spindle kit. Sweet!
:) These stories are wonderful:)
Blossom :0)
She really is a classically pretty sheep.
11 already! I had forgotten about the cot.
