Greetings to Everyone :0 )
What a beautiful day it is. The weather here in Texas is quite warm for this time of year which makes it great to get some mid harvesting done on our herbs since we had such a drought this summer.
I added fresh new...

This morning I headed down to the barn like I normally do. So strange, this winter. It’s been warm, many days into the high 40’s. Aside from the freak October snowstorm , we really haven’t gotten any snow. The ground is generally hard...

It’s New Year’s Eve!
Well 2011 isn’t ending so wonderfully. Julio’s jaw abscess has returned, thankfully not too badly, and this week I’ve had a sore throat/earache thing going on which is leaving me totally exhausted. Perhaps Julio and...

It is pretty nippy in the mornings for the last few days. The frost on the farm buildings is a reminder that it is the end of November and, yes, the winter is slowly creeping in. Although beautiful sun shining for most of the day makes it just wonderful to...

When Dan or I bring down a bale of hay on the 2-wheeler, we usually hardly make it into the paddock past the gate and this happens:
Hope you all had a fabulous Thanksgiving weekend!

Needless to say, last weekend we received well over a foot of snow and lost power for several days.............
Our shearer had come by early Saturday morning to help us trim the alpacas’ toenails. Dan held them and Jay trimmed. Thank...

Late yesterday afternoon, I thought that Mother Nature was playing a trick on us. The cold rain that had been falling all day quickly turned to heavy, wet snowflakes. Our beautiful maple trees, leaves still ablaze with autumn reds and oranges,...

Any guesses who?
We’ve had an interesting week on our farm. After having fresh, green, second cut hay delivered a week before we had planned, the alpacas have refused to go out to graze. Instead they’ve been hanging around the barn and...

Well, every family has a black sheep and now ours does too, but literally! I've always wanted a sheep, even back in college at the Univ. of Wisconsin. When I was bored, stressed, angry or all three I would walk to the Ag. barn and watch the sheep. ...

This is my outside Fiber Studio:

I am happy to say our little farm is very fortunate and weathered tropical storm Irene just fine. The winds did bring down some branches as well as some older trees at the back of our property. A few power lines were down on our street, but...

It has been a very busy few days. Getting everything prepared for the Home & Garden Show in Austin Texas at the end of the month.
I started to bake homemade herbal critter snacks that my dogs and camelids enjoy very much. They are completely vegan,...

On these hot summer days, Dan sometimes drags out the kiddie pool for the alpacas. First he'll hose down their legs and bellies. Then he'll fill up the pool a little bit. The past 2 summers, the boys weren't all that interested in the...

Wow, it's a hot day again . The animals are all roaming around and pass by the water hose routinely so they can get their shower :)
I think I will stay home from the clinic tomorrow so I can care for my "children". With the weather up to 107...

Guinness scared the daylights out of me the other day.
It has been sooooooooo hot! I realize it’s July, and that we’d had a very long winter, but temps hovering around 100 are just a bit much!
We’ve been hosing down the alpacas every day in...
