Water play!
Saturday April 12, 2014 Yesterday I decided to open the gate to the creek area for the girls since it was really warm (almost 70!) and oh my did they love that. Lots of running and jumping and splashing around in … Continued
A lovely spring day
Friday April 11, 2014 What a beautiful day we had yesterday! It was dry enough that I was able to get the entire girls pasture vacuumed, and the alpacas were enjoying sun bathing and dust bathing. Even the hens were … Continued
We showed ’em
Thursday April 10, 2014 Thirty years ago today I gave birth to a little boy who during the pregnancy had “no chance” to survive. We showed ’em, didn’t we Nate. Happy Birthday to my sweet son, a genuine nice person, … Continued
A Day at the Beach
Wednesday April 9, 2014 We’re scheduled for the warmest day of the year so far today, so I might have to cave in and let the girls into the pasture by the creek. The boys have already been wading and … Continued
Working dogs
Tuesday April 8, 2014 We have visitors coming every day this week. Must be spring! I think the alpacas enjoy visitors to a degree, it’s a little bit of change in the routine for them. They are somewhat wary, but … Continued
Spinning a New Yarn

Fighting dragons at the ranch
Sunday April 6, 2014 The weather wasn’t so bad after all on Saturday. We had plenty of time for being outside and enjoying all the the ranch has to offer to a 3 year old. This morning it’s all white out … Continued
We have a clean puppy :)
Friday April 4, 2014 It looks like we’re in for a wet weekend with a storm that comes in tonight. The alpacas all prefer to eat out of the barn but I’ll probably have to keep feeding them inside the … Continued
Gone to the birds
Thursday April 3,2014 Well I got some good suggestions yesterday on how to deal with the pesky magpies, mostly from our Facebook page. I’ll let you know if anything works. The thing is I really love birds, and I always … Continued
Barn Yard Bullies
Wednesday April 2,2014 They eat the cat food I put out for our barn cats, they try to eat the dog’s food right along side the dogs, they pick at newborn alpacas before they stand up, and now they are … Continued
April Snow
Tuesday April 1,2014 I usually try to think of a clever April Fool’s Day joke for today, but I am watching a blizzard out my window and somehow that does not inspire jocularity! Snow in April is actually expected around here, … Continued
Away for a bit
Yes we were away for the weekend. (Thanks Beth for taking care of everyone here while we were gone.) I don’t think it’s wise to broadcast on this website, Facebook or anywhere else when we aren’t going to be here, … Continued
