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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

In the front part of our pasture, right by the tack room end of the barn, there is growing a rather odd looking weed. The soil is very poor there, pretty much all clay, so not too much grass has grown, and there are always plenty of small...

Yesterday our little alpaca herd grew again, as 2 more alpaca boys joined us here on our farm. Val came by and dropped off Cavalier and Eragon. Both are considered modern gray in color, with Cavalier being a dark silver grey and Eragon a dark...

As of yesterday, there are just 3 months left until opening day of the 7th season here at our southeast Nebraska pumpkin patch! I can't believe how fast time can fly. We've been very busy on the farm and finally got all our pumpkins, squash...

(slight camera snaffu ~ pictures to follow)
Spring cleaning on an alpaca farm is when we clean out the barn and paddock areas in preparation for shearing day. We want the barn as clean as possible (well, it is a barn after all) so that the...

The past few weeks have been mostly sunny days. Most of the snow is gone. Evenings are still below freezing so the ground is wet yet somewhat solid.
The alpacas have been running around the pasture, so happy not to be cooped up in...

It was foggy and drizzly when we walked down to the barn last night. No stars were out. The path to the barn is mud and large puddles. The snow banks are really going down but there’s still plenty of snow. The paddock is mud, mud, and...

There is a fifth season that is never mentioned scientifically, but it’s definitely talked about extensively here in New England. It’s Mud season. Mud season is that transition time during the melting snows of late winter and the not yet totally...

For several days now, we haven’t had any snow. Some days are still rather cold, but things have been warming up a little bit. And sunshine! Even on cold and windy days the sun is melting snow. Water is pouring down off the roofs and...
