Lambing at Sunrise

(Traveling back in time to May 5th)  Sometimes it seems that things happen for a reason.  Had Meara not pushed out a water bag at 12:15 a.m.; had she pushed out that first lamb earlier than 5:30 a.m.; this beautiful, foggy sunrise would not have been witnessed from the pasture.
The sky looked pretty clear to the north, but the fog began to come up the hollow from Wolf Creek, enveloping the pasture and continuing to roll across the hayfield.  Light filled the sky and the air was filled with a lovely, rosey pink glow.  The misty fog remained, clinging to the ground… the color in the sky intensified and the sun rose high enough to be seen above the fog… a bright golden globe… SUNRISE!

Saturday’s Sunrise

From 6:58 a.m. to 7:36 a.m., we experienced a most glorious sunrise… each moment more beautiful than the last.  In thirty-eight minutes our mountain top went from darkness into light.  An everyday miracle.  A reminder to hold on to that which is beautiful in each and every day.

Many thanks to all of you for the thoughts, prayers and love you have sent our way. 
We are so grateful.
