Tuesday, May 23, 2017 The Pyrenees are shedding their winter coats and white tufts of dog hair are all over the pastures. I do comb and brush all 3 of them as much as I can, but much of it … Continued
Monday April 17 – pooped pups
Monday April 17, 2017 The wind is howling outside my office door and skies are gray… a perfect Monday morning. Four big dogs are snoring at my feet and we’ve all agreed to take it easy today 😉 If my leg is … Continued
A few fleeces left?
Monday, April 10, 2017 The snow has all melted and the sun will be bright today. ☀️ Perfect! I need to get into the fleece shed and see if there are any more fleeces to have processed. I ran out … Continued
It’s all good
Thursday, March 30, 2017 Well, I guess March will be going out like a lion as we brace for another snow storm tonight and tomorrow. About this time every year I get antsy to get the barn cleaned out from the … Continued
March 16, 2017
Thursday, March 16, 2017 The pasture snow is almost gone! Never fear, we’ll see more, but the alpacas are now out and exploring all day long and even sleeping outside at night. Chief and Charlotte keep them safe so they … Continued
Woodland Winter
Friday, February 24, 2017 Winter is definitely back in Woodland! More snow, and subzero temps for tonight. We’re all OK, no worries. 🙂 My commute to the barn might be strenuous, but today is one day I’d rather be on foot than out in traffic. Be … Continued
Singing dogs? ;)
Monday, January 16, 2017 Along with those clear sunny skies come some very frigid cold night temps. It’s -10° on our thermometer as I type. It’s probably about 15° inside the barn but that’s still cold. Hopefully, I will find time to work on the online store today, now … Continued
A break in the storms! :)
Saturday, January 14, 2017 I like to think we work in sync with Mother Nature here but there are times when it seems like we are battling! But I think we’ll get the upper hand today with lots of sunshine and no … Continued
Charlotte ❤️
Wednesday, January 11, 2017 My oh My! We got so much snow overnight I was afraid to let the house dogs go out this morning, thought they might get stuck out there! And it’s still snowing. Snow photos tomorrow! Ed will … Continued
My quiet place
Monday, November 21, 2016 Getting ready for houseguests and the big feast on Thursday plus our event on Saturday means my quiet times this week will be in the barn. It’s the best place to go to when I feel the need to get grounded. … Continued
Charlotte’s first year
Tuesday, November 15, 2016 Our youngest guardian dog Charlotte arrived here last October. She was in a pet home, not very happy there, and was advertised on a rescue site. She had many things to learn – how to act around the … Continued
A quiet place
Monday, November 14, 2016 Moving right along…. I will tell you that I have very strong feelings about the state of affairs in our country with our new president-elect but I will also tell you that I will no longer … 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 Snowflakes!
Thursday, October 6, 2016 We saw some serious snowflakes here for a while yesterday. The alpacas all watched from inside the barns and Charlotte was the only one who chose to stay out in it. She does love her job. 🙂 Chief claimed one of … Continued
