Life on the funny farm...


lately has been more work than funny...

The land management team goes home today. They have done a great job! we even let them out by the pond for a couple of days and they cleared that out, too! (Just had to watch them closely because they wanted to head for the front and the flowers!) Kim thinks that we may be able to make this a yearly thing with the goat guy and that would be a lot of help for us!

This morning we had Rhonda and Jenny come over from the ranch in San Marcos where we've bought our alpacas. They gave us a school on giving shots and trimming toenails. I'm afraid I'm still a little wimpy so Kim got the lions share of the work, but I held them still! I don't know if I have told everyone that we decided to get Cambridge (white) and we also had to have another male so that he wouldn't be by himself, so we bought Rigoletto (black with dark brown legs) too. The leaf vacuum is here in town, and Kim has to make arrangements to pick it up tomorrow, so as soon as we see if this works, we'll have Silly, Cambridge and Rigoletto delivered. Then, we'll have two crias in December, so we're movin!

Was nice to have weather in the 60's this morning! Let's hope that the hottest weather is soon going to be behind us!
