We have been patiently waiting for Hera to deliver.  She has looked miserable for weeks. There had been speculations that maybe there would be triplets on the way. She is a triplet herself that we purchased as a yearling, along with her sister Athena, from Joe and Betsy at Quaking Maples Farm . Actually she has looked huge each year and triplets had been quietly whispered in closed circles in previous years. Finally this evening it was time: Three beautiful healthy lambs.  And what a wonderful variety: one white ram, one black ram, and one white ewe.
