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
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

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
