Sunday, December 18, 2022 “Why do you do it?” Farmer Ed asked about the daily blog. Good question. First of all, it’s a habit I started more than 20 years ago and long time habits die hard. But it’s actually because I think there might be someone out there who needs to read something light, or see a photo of a cute animal without suffering through ads and paywalls. Also, I love taking photos of the animals and the ranch and this blog gives me a place to share those photos. This is a hard time of year for many and maybe my photo of the day can bring a smile. Some days the content is kinda ho hum, but I’ll always find a photo to share. Have a good Sunday!
Photo of the Day: Just a cute smiling alpaca in the snow.

Me too ladies! In planning for retirement (hopefully soon!) packing the photo I bought from you Linda isn’t getting packed. Once we end up in Virginia it will be a small part of Utah I will treasure. Having been lucky enough to be close enough to be able to visit has been an all time favorite for me. My husband humors me! Lol Thank you so much!
Linda
Thanks Kathie. That photo is still one of my favorites and I’m glad you like it too.

Count me as another one of your faithful followers. 🙂 I’ve been reading your blog for about 10+ years now and have learned so much from you! I love the positive attitude that you have to everyday life. You always look for the good and share it with those around you. We are blessed to call you our friend and mentor. All of my fluffy darlings that I bought from you are thriving here. Merry Christmas from our family to yours. And Bindi, Mimi, Miracle, Sophie and her surprise baby William wish you happy holidays as well. 🙂

Oh Jen, how very sweet of you to say that. Hug all those fluffies for me! Thanks for taking such good care of them.
