I occasionally read Washington Post columnist Jeanne Marie Laskas, another urban to rural transplant.  She recounted her odyssey in her book 
Fifty Acres and a Poodle: A Story of Love, Livestock, and Finding Myself on a Farm .  I had missed her piece in last Sunday's post until a friend printed it out and passed it on.  Since our last few lambs are making their appearance, I thought I would link to it:  
Sweet Pea Had a Little Lamb.
