Phlox

Today my grandpa came over and said there was a sick lamb that couldn't get up. He figured she'd be dead soon. I did my chores then went to check on her. She was really weak and thin. She had a big belly though...so I figured she had a bad case of worms. When I got to her she could stand if you picked her up, then she fell after a few minutes. So I brought her over, made a little pen in the barn, gave her probiotics, powerpunch then set her up with hay and water in her reach. She started stitting up on her own and kind of crawling around. She's eating like crazy now and I'm sure she'll live. It'll take a few weeks to get her back up to strength, but then she'll be find. I named her Phlox. Grandpa gave her to me 'cause she would have died other wise. I don't know if I'll keep her or not....I might just sneak her back into his herd! She sure is cute. Of course...I say that about every lamb I rescue! There is something about a helpless sick lamb...that must be why Jesus used sheep as illistrations so much. I'll have to get a picture of her up soon.
I took Smoke for a ride and now I'm going to work on my book. We might go to a horse/tack auction later...we'll see.
I'm listening to my celtic music while I'm writing this. I love celtic music!! I guess that's the Irish in me!
I picked up my quilts from the quilt show on Thursday...I won a doorprize! It was a book on five minute quilt blocks...should be interesting to look through.
I hope everyone is enjoying this lovely bright, sunny weather we're having!
