Sweet Harmony Farm

Coty loves to hay-dive.  He’ll stand at the wheelbarrow picking through the hay, chewing and sniffing.  Then suddenly he’ll thrust his head down to the bottom of the wheelbarrow.  His head is completely covered in hay.  He’s eating all the delicious bits of grassy things that fall to the bottom.  Sometimes he stands in one place. Sometimes he’ll reach over under the hay as far as his long neck will stretch.  The hay on top of him jumps around.  The other alpacas don’t mind him doing this.  Usually they’ll just continue eating the hay that’s covering his neck and head.  Sometimes they join him.  After a while, swoosh!  Coty’s head pops up.  He’ll stand there chewing a mouthful of hay, with long, grassy, green hay hanging down on both sides of his head.  I laugh and tell him how adorable he is wearing his ‘hay hat.’  If you’ve never watched an alpaca hay dive, you’re missing out on one of the funniest things in life.
