Petite Emma with saucer blue eyes and bristling with curiosity ventured into Uncle Bud's sheep pen Saturday to make the acquaintance of nine newborn lambs. Her neon pink galoshes were two sizes too big and kept tripping her up as she trod pigeon-toed through the straw trying to catch up with the frisky lambs. The ewes parted to let her pass through. She diligently smiled that 100 watt grin and waved to summon the ewes closer then patted their noses greeting them with her boisterous, "Hi!" They'd scatter but the quads found their momma and began nursing. Emma moved in to supervise and tweak their wagging tails. Every once in awhile the barn kitties lured Emma back to the slatted sides of the pen jabbering and pointing at the antics as the kitties scrambled for food. She gave all creatures big and small her parade wave as she was hoisted up on mom's shoulders for her trek back to the house. What a beautiful sight!Contributed by Ann.
