Lambs
 Photo Album: Newborn Lambs |
Early May is lambing time, and we see ewes with newborn lambs in fields and along the roadsides all over the islands. It’s not uncommon to see them grazing along the side of the highway or crossing the road.
Bjørghild and Jørmund’s ewes have been grazing in the lower fields near the bay, and during lambing time, they check on the ewes several times a day. I went with Bjørghild and Hallbjørg (her sister-in-law) to check on their sheep this afternoon. The weather has been calm and mild this week, so visiting the sheep is a pleasure.
The Faroese sheep have wool that is white, black, and brown, or a mixture of any of those colors. There was even one unusual grey ewe.

Oh, how very cute! I also notice all of the blue sky. Blue sky! How wonderful! It looks like spring really has arrived!
