We need to find meaning. We need to be useful. We need to know that who we are matters. I give, you give, we all give.
Winnie Nielsen says: Possible innards of an old truck where the shift is on the column? I once drove a truck like that and it was pretty cool.
Winnie Nielsen says: What a sweet print. The look of the ewe and the girl are full of peace and calm.
Nothing is sweeter than a newborn lamb ( except maybe a newborn Jersey calf like Rose Etta !) I wish I could raise sheep, Jacob’s Four Horned would be my choice. Did raise large shiny black Nubian goats and the kids were ever so sweet. No wonder we call our playful offspring kids.
Karlyne says: Who was the artist on this one? It’s a beauty, full of “farmgirl romance”.
MaryJane says: I’m not sure we know, but I’ll try to find out!
Janet Mueller says: The artist is Johann Baptist Hofner
MaryJane says: Thank you Janet!!!!
Karlyne says: Yes, thank you, Janet!
I have a copy of this very picture beautifully framed and hanging on my wall . . .YAY!!!
Reminds me of growing up on our farm!

Bonita Hopkins says: Is there anyone that knows where I can get one?
MaryJane says: A baby lamb?
Bonita Hopkins says: Any chance I can get a print of this?
Kim Reeves says: I bought that same print for my daughters bedroom. The girl looks just like my daughter! Her name is Mary and she has the kindest spirit about her. She raises goats, names each one and loves them everyone dearly! This is my favorite print.
Karlyne says: MJ, if you send Bonita a lamb, send me one, too!
MaryJane says: I will, along with some nappies and onesies:), http://www.raisingjane.org/journal/31677#more-31677
Karlyne says: My leftover onesies and nappies are on their way to Goodwill next trip. Maybe I should save them, but I think yours were cuter, anyway!
MaryJane says: There comes a time …
