Monday, February 8, 2016 This will be the first time we’ve ever had an “Open Barn” day in the middle of winter, but it think it might just be fun! The weather for the weekend looks like it will cooperate, we have paths … Continued
Sunday, February 7, 2016 T’was a beautiful winter day here yesterday for sure. Alpacas all out in the snow enjoying some sun and we got all the paths shoveled out once again. And how about that extra daylight, eh? I love it! If you’re a super bowl fan, I hope your team wins today! … Continued
Saturday, February 6, 2016 The forecast for today says ZERO percent chance of snow. Hmmmm, we’ll see. I only trust the weather stone. But just in case they’re right, I’ll put more hay outside for the herd to enjoy. They all prefer to eat … Continued
Wednesday, February 3, 2016 Wow it’s cold lately! Or maybe it’s just that we’re getting a teeny weeny bit tired of winter? Oh did I really say that? 
I think we’ll get a few days break from any new snow, at … Continued
Tuesday, February 2, 2016 Groundhog Shmoundhog! I can tell you for sure with all the snow we have here, there will be no early spring! LOL The blowing winds yesterday made drifts that forced me to find new paths to the barns. I have to keep reminding myself to be grateful that at … Continued
Monday, February 1, 2016 Welcome February! And it’s still snowing! 
I’m getting used to the new routines of trudging through the snow to get the chores done, it just takes a little longer than I’d like. I’ll start working on the February newsletter … Continued
Sunday, January 31, 2016 Well we got hammered again with more snow. I must make a mental note to put any future hay barns nearer to the barn when the animals live! The chicken coop seemed like it was in the next county! LOL … Continued
Saturday, January 30, 2016 Yes, it’s snowing and after looking at the traffic cams I’m really glad we cancelled our event today. Yesterday afternoon all the animals were acting a little strange. The alpacas were hanging closely together and wouldn’t go in the barn, even after I put their new hay … Continued
Friday, January 29, 2016 More snow is on it’s way later today. I guess we’re getting all the snow this year that we missed last year. Most of this storm will arrive tomorrow. We’re cancelling our fiber day for tomorrow because … Continued
Thursday, January 28, 2016 I’ve started spinning the purple roving and it’s making wonderful yarn. It will be in Yaya’s Yarn Barn before our next Open Barn event on Saturday Feb 13. Working with spring colors is really a good idea in the dead … Continued
Wednesday, January 27, 2016 Brrr, another chilly morning here at 3° below zero. Grateful that we cut paths thru the snow while it was fresh, once it gets this cold it’s much harder. I got my spinning project finished and … Continued
Tuesday, January 26, 2016 The store inventory is almost completed! I will finish a spinning project today and add more handspun yarn to the store as soon as I can. We have alpaca socks in most sizes, a good selection of … Continued
Monday, January 25, 2016 On occasion, usually close to a full moon, the guardian dogs bark A LOT at night. But when they do that, we know they are working. If a cougar is prowling nearby, they know it and will … Continued
