Saturday, January 24, 2015 Today I am teaching a class on learning to spin your own yarn. Personally, I think everyone should know how to spin yarn! It’s fun, it’s relaxing, and when you own alpacas it’s pretty important. 🙂 … Continued
Friday, January 23, 2015 Now that I’ve seen Minnie’s baby kicking I’m anxious to see more. Most of our crias this year are due in June, so I should be able to see more of them moving soon. It’s like a … Continued
Thursday, January 22, 2015 So today is the first day of the Sundance Film Festival and all the PIBs will descend on Park City. (PIB is local talk for people in black) 😉 I’m glad for the economic boost to … Continued
Tuesday, January 20, 2015 We’re back to normal winter weather after a bit of a balmy spell. Call me nuts, but I prefer it to be cold in winter. Cold and bright sun is a simply perfect day for Woodland, … Continued
Monday, January 19, 2015 I’m not sure why, but it does seem that the more “spirited” alpacas are the ones who need toenails trimmed more often! But we got 6 of the most spirited ones done yesterday and a big … Continued
Saturday, January 17, 2015 Happy Birthday to Ed! I’d let him take the day off, but really he wouldn’t like that at all. So we’ll have a nice normal busy day at the ranch and he’ll get to eat my … Continued

Monday, January 12, 2015 Update on the cams – they all three work! So from time to time today we might peek inside the barn or watch the snow as it falls outside in the pasture. Now I can get … Continued
Sunday, January 11, 2015 Two cams are working well and I’ll try for the third today. 🙂 Snow is expected here later, but the temps are warm enough that it could be slushy. I was able to get outside with … Continued

Friday, January 9, 2015 I decided to take advantage of the beautiful weather yesterday to get my new barn cam set up installed. I have two of the three cams working, now we can view the alpacas outside, and I’ll … Continued
