life goes on
Wednesday, June 3, 2015 Gideon left peacefully yesterday afternoon with many alpacas watching. I think they knew it was his time. I’ll make him a cairn next to his brother’s in our north pasture. I miss him so, but I … Continued
RIP Gideon
Tuesday, June 2, 2015 I’m back from Kentucky. I was quite concerned to see how much our dear old Gideon had deteriorated in the few days I was away. You might have noticed that he is spending much more time … Continued
Rainy afternoon? Take a nap!
Thursday, May 28, 2015 As the pregnant girls’ bellies get bigger and bigger, I could spend hours watching for baby movements. Patchouli is our first one due, and I have seen her baby move, but she’s not that big at … Continued
It’s time to dry out a bit

A happy dog
Sunday, May 24, 2015 Sometimes I watch Chief, our rescue dog, when he works and I am so taken with how perfectly he fits the job here. He really loves the herd and I think he knows what an important … Continued

Saturday, May 23, 2015 At the moment the sun is shining brightly in Woodland and it’s just glorious! The alpacas are wandering and enjoying a breakfast of fresh grasses. The air smells clean and fresh from all the rain and … Continued

Friday, May 22, 2015 More rain again today to keep our bogs soggy. 😉 I’m not one to complain about the weather, mainly because it doesn’t change a thing. It’s better I think to look for things to appreciate. … Continued

Wednesday, May 20, 2015 Yay for 5 year olds who think it’s cool to pull weeds! We easily got 3 buckets of that nasty foxtail grass pulled up yesterday because the soil was so wet. And if there is any … Continued
Who’s the roo?

Monday May 18
Monday, May 18, 2015 More showers today will add more moisture to our already wet pastures. We’re starting to see standing water in many areas. I can only imagine that this will keep things green here for longer than usual … Continued
Thank you!
Sunday, May 17, 2015 Thanks so much to all who came to our event yesterday! For some reason, rain just does not stop people from coming to Blue Moon Ranch. 🙂 It drizzled lightly most of the day, but we … Continued
Rain or Shine!
Friday, May 15, 2015 The alpaca girls did do a good job of trimming the grass and dandelions in the barn yard yesterday. They hardly wanted any hay at all last night. A good plan! I must admit however, the … Continued

Thursday, May 14, 2015 Today and tomorrow look like the dry days, so I guess I’ll get on the pasture vac today and attempt to get the pastures cleaned up. It’s definitely easier on me then going after it all … Continued
