Officially on baby watch
Wednesday May 30, 2018 Our first baby could be arriving in 2 weeks, or today, or in a month. Yep, that’s how alpacas roll. My watch is intensifying each day and I won’t be too far away from here during … Continued
Back to the routine 😀
Tuesday May 29, 2018 I know most people love long weekends, but I love getting back to my routine. 🙂 It’s time to focus on shearing day now and making sure it will go as smoothly as possible. The way … Continued
Memorial day!
Monday May 28, 2018 “While only one day of the year is dedicated to honoring our veterans, American’s must never forget the sacrifices many of our fellow countrymen have made to defend our country and protect our freedom” — Congressman … Continued
The ranch is blooming!
Sunday May 27, 2018 We had a busy Saturday with tour groups and planting projects but then our “happy hour’”was well deserved. Today will be a repeat! Rain might show up this afternoon but the plants and grass seed we put … Continued
A one in a million neighbor

The beach is Open!
Friday May 25, 2018 I couldn’t hold off any longer. The girls had been lining up at the gate to the “beach” area for weeks. And a few of them are really getting too warm with all the fleece they’re … Continued

Spring Open Barn Day and Happy Birthday Belle!
Saturday May 19, 2018 We’ll be open today from 1 – 4 for our free Spring Open barn event. Come see the alpacas in full fleece and enjoy a stroll on the walking paths through the pastures. Maybe a slight … Continued
Cats and Dogs
Friday May 18, 2018 I thought I had it all figured out. A foolproof plan. Feed the birds where the house dogs will keep the cats away from the bird feeders. What could possibly go wrong? A bold kitty who … Continued
Thursday May 17, 2018
Thursday May 17, 2018 The soaps are all labelled and in the yarn barn. I’m spinning the last of a few bobbins I’ve been working on (must have handspun yarns available!) and ready or not the gates will open to … Continued
