Monday October 8, 2018 With temps in the 30’s and wet snow/rain falling I think it’s a good day to spin some yarn by a fire and check on the alpacas with the alpaca cam. It looks like they are … Continued
Friday October 5, 2018 It’s still raining and we’re still glad about it. The water reserves in Utah have been less than half of what they should be and this will really help. Pasture clean up will have to wait until … Continued
Thursday October 4, 2018 The rain continues and all is good. The alpacas stay in the barns when it rains or threatens to rain but the dogs are out working 24/7. They can certainly come in the barn if they choose … Continued
Wednesday October 3, 2018 A lovely rain fell during the night and it looks like the rest of the week will be wet with snow predicted for the weekend. Sadly now the areas of Utah that were burned by the … Continued

Thursday September 27, 2018 The yarn has been dyed, the soaps have been wrapped and the alpaca socks have arrived. There is still much to do but I think we’ll be ready by Saturday at 11:00 am. 🙂 If the guardian … Continued
