We’re back!
Wednesday, October 26, 2016 We are home! Exhausted from days traveling without sleep but home and happy to be here. I downloaded almost 500 photos and will be looking at them over the next few days and will share some … Continued
What did you learn today?
Tuesday, October 11, 2016 Beautiful fall weather continues and today I’ll be able to share it with our grandson. Learning about all kinds of things happens easily when we’re together for our Tuesdays. His mind is like a sponge and there is so much … Continued
The reason for the dirt in fleeces
Monday, October 10, 2016 If you’ve ever walked in our pastures you might have noticed huge crater like holes. The alpacas love these spots. Not only that, they made these spots! They love to roll in dirt (as a way to keep themselves free of parasites). So … Continued
October 8, 2016
Saturday, October 8, 2016 You know, we’ve never actually “closed” Blue Moon Ranch before, probably because we’ve never been quite so busy before now. Our visitors and tours are what keep us in business and we know that and are grateful for them, but everyone needs … Continued
October R & R

Scarlett shines again :)
Tuesday, October 4, 2016 There’s ice on the water this morning, but I see a little warming trend on the way. Just enough to make it pleasant outside but not enough to bring the flies back. Perfect! Today our grandson will be here helping me with the … Continued

Welcome October!
Saturday, October 1, 2016 Welcome October! It’s my favorite month of the year. With jaw dropping beautiful colors all around us and temperatures cooling off, and restful nights getting longer, yes thank you! It’s a very busy Saturday at the ranch as usual, I’m sorry I … Continued
Black Moon Friday
Friday, September 30, 2016 It’s a Black Moon tonight. If two new moons fall in one month the second is a black moon. It sounds rather mysterious but there actually won’t be anything in the sky to see. I think I’ll use Black Moon Friday as a … Continued
Green smoothie?
Thursday, September 29, 2016 With Open Barn days now behind us the focus is back on the alpacas themselves. I like that. Today I’ll test some pregnancies and hope to see more spitting. It’s a not so subtle way that the girl tells the guy … Continued
One of the herd.
Wednesday, September 28, 2016 most of the photos I take these days are with my iPhone. Why? Because it’s usually in my pocket. I can’t always get phone calls with it here, but it’s easier to keep my phone in my … Continued
