Back to winter

Calm-a-lid
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
Happy Birthday Ed!
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
Hoarfrost!
Friday, January 16, 2015 The hoarfrost yesterday morning was so beautiful. My photos really don’t do it justice. Today we start preparing for Ed’s birthday weekend – what does that mean, you might ask? Well because he reads this I … Continued

Wednesday, January 14, 2015 The snow has stopped and the sun should be out bright today, so I’ll do some alpaca feeding on the snow. I have some cleanup to get done inside the barn and it’s much easier when … Continued
January 13 and all the snow :)
Tuesday, January 13, 2015 It snowed just about all day yesterday, and continued through the night. I can’t wait to get outside with my camera today. I’m planning some dye projects for some lovely white alpaca yarn I have. Choosing … 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
Slushy Sunday
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
What’s up with the alpaca cam?
Saturday, January 10, 2015 Somehow when I installed the third camera, I lost the signal from the other one. After a pretty frustrating afternoon, I had to give up and just have one working cam. My goal is to get … Continued
Friday, January 9
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
Learning to use a Mac
Thursday, January 8, 2015 Have you ever been to a country where you had to drive on the other side of the road from what you’re used to? Well, that’s kind of what it’s like getting used to a new … Continued
New computer!
Tuesday, January 6, 2015 My new computer is on the UPS truck for delivery today! It’s always a challenge to learn a new computer and get all the files transferred, but it’s the perfect time of year for me to … Continued
Monday January 5
Monday, January 5, 2015 I’m shipping out a few orders this morning (thank you!) and then hope to finish up the January newsletter. I love the holidays but it feels good to get back to the business of running my … Continued
A beauty in black
Sunday, January 4, 2015 Rumor has it we might see temps above freezing today! That would be nice, since we lost power in the boys’ barn and I’ve been hauling buckets of warm water out there. (we’ll get an electrician … Continued
