Yet, Another Dreary Day on the Farm

It is a dreary day and you can tell the alpacas are affected by the light.  They long for sunshine as much as humans do.  I did an extra speacial cleaning of their barn, in hopes that may lift their spirits.  Besides, we are suposed to have snow moving in tonight.  I am sure they have a better sense of the forth coming weather than our weather people and all their sophisticated equipment.  If there is wind with the snow the alpacas will park themselves inside, but near a door where they can see out.
Today they stayed in the barn after they ate.  I took my daily walk down to the creek, which is behind the pastures, and no alpacas came to greet me.  On a sunny day they would beat me down there.  Everyone is looking very scruffy and I am beginning to think about shearing.  Shearing is such a busy time, but so much fun.  It is the one time of the year that I am actually organized!
Here are some pictures I have taken recently for you to enjoy.
