The alpacas have not left the barn for 2 days. They really are not impressed with the snow. I made them go out so I could get a picture of them, but they would not go far. On the other hand the dogs are loving the snow. They are having a great time jumping and playing in it. I heard that this was the most snow that this area has had since 1953, I know it is the most snow I can remember.

Two teachers purchased hats from me to keep their heads warm during playground duty. They look so cute. I am also happy to announce that I have some purses and stockings on display at a gallery in Richmond. I was thrilled to hear that she liked my "art". Wow, I thought of it more as a hobby and she said "art"

Your first alpacas always have a soft place in your heart. We first purchased 2 pregnant females (Hannah and Pepper Ann) but when Hanna had a boy cria (Outlaw), we realized we needed to get another young fella to keep Outlaw company. We all instantly fell in love with Fable. So Fable was the 3rd alpaca we purchased. We got to watch him grow, as did our farm. We got to that point, that many farms find themselves in....too many boys. So when Bluebird Gap Farm (a park that is an educational, working, farm Hampton) needed and alpaca to spoil we knew Fable would be perfect. We were right. He has grown to be a lovely alpaca and is very happy at the park. We got to visit him last month, as we delivered a new alpaca to them.
Boots will also reside at the park. Here is a picture of him meeting his other pasture mate, Expresso the llama. Expresso did not know what to think of the new little guy. We have talked to the park and they have informed me that all 3 are getting along great.

We spent Monday at Young McDonalds Farm. Once again we demonstrated fiber and felting to the people at the fair. We really enjoyed the fact that it was Homeschool Day. I had a blast sharing how our farm works perfectly as a way to bring in an extra income and how the kids work side by side with me on the farm due the gentle nature of the alpacas. The kids asked some great questions....way to go information seekers. Over the 2 day period, We went through about 175 plastic bags that we used to do our felting demonstration. WOW...
Some of the other animals in the Young McDonalds farm were so cute. I loved watching the goats climb on their display and the baby pigs were adorable.
