The Grey that follows the SNOW

It has been beautiful and snowy, albiet it freesing,  but now we have muddy, cool days that  often have no sun.  the alpacas seem to notice this as much as I do.  We all have to work together tokeep each other up.

Winter Thaw

It is always in January that we get a thaw, usally around the 15th. I guess it is a little eary this year, but it could not be more welcome. I know all of us welcoming this thaw will soon curse it because with a thaw comes the mess of water and mud. Never-the-less, I am happy the temps are warmer and my fingertips will not freeze during my morning chores.
