I first noticed it in late January, one morning when I stepped onto the road to walk my dog, Bo.
It was surprisingly loud and strong, and it rang out from several fields away: baaaaah baaaa baaaaaa. And just like that, I felt winter start to melt away and give itself over to spring. The lambs had arrived.
In the mornings since, and some afternoons, I have come to love hearing the little lambs. It sounds like they are trying to frighten me off, or warn their fluffy friends of our presence, so assertive are their cries.
And so new life begins, tiny and vulnerable but also bold and insistent.
*EDIT*
I forgot to post this yesterday, but if you are in need of soothing nature sounds, I highly recommend this very unique work by a fellow called Cosmo Sheldrake. Especially if you are currently trapped in a city. It is bliss for your ears.
The sounds of nature are much more soothing than our modern world. Spring is great, everything comes to life again. Grass is also the most nutritious in the spring, so it’s the best time to grow for the lambs.
