Maternity Ward

Lambing time again, and the neighbouring farmer keeps the flock nearby - it's a busy time for him because there are often multiple births, and rejected lambs that have to be hand-reared. Five of last year's "orphans" act as lawnmowers for some of Aurora's people. in winter when the grass is green - they follow the shepherd around and respond only to his call. Quite Biblical!
