View from OSU Lambing Barns

We saw a brand new baby lamb that was born today. The poor thing seemed to be having a hard time eating. We also pet a friendly little black one. John can do most of the animals sounds so seeing sheep up close was really fun for him. I just eat up all of his little squeals. Because of today's events I have had the words of William Blake stuck in my head for about a week. I will share so they can be in your head too.

Little Lamb, who made thee?
Dost thou know who made thee?
Gave thee life, & bid thee feed
By the stream & o'er the mead;
Gave thee clothing of delight,
Softest clothing, wooly, bright;
Gave thee such a tender voice,
Making all the vales rejoice?
Little Lamb, who made thee?
Dost thou know who made thee?

Little Lamb, I'll tell thee,
Little Lamb, I'll tell thee,
He is called by thy name,
For he calls himself a Lamb.
He is meek, & he is mild;
He became a little child.
I a child, & thou a lamb,
We are called by his name.
Little Lamb, God bless thee!
Little Lamb, God bless thee!

This is completely delightful and just adds another reason why I think you're great.
