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

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

Who’s the roo?
Tuesday, May 19, 2015 Clouds will keep it a gray day here, but our grandson will spend the day and brighten things up considerably. 🙂 The baby chicks have grown even more and as I expected, we do have one … Continued
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
