I had the great privilege of spending a couple days on the Rebankses' farm during lambing season two years ago. If it hadn't been for the ATV and the plastic overalls I'd have sworn I'd traveled through time. James's family and their neighbors are carrying on traditions that have been part of the land there for well over a thousand years. (Some of the local language even comes directly from the Old Norse brought over by the Vikings—"fell," for example; compare with Icelandic "fjall.")<p>I have enormous respect for their way of life. It is backbreaking, never-ending work, especially during lambing season, and they wouldn't give it up for anything.
