On The Farm

It has certainly been a Winter Wonderland here on the farm lately. I was beginning to wonder if it was ever going to thaw! The alpacas have been reluctant to spend much time in the field, since it has been so hard to get to any grass. It's much more comfortable to lay around in the barn and wait for me to give them some hay! I can't say that I blame them -- it's been pretty cold out there. But they do have a very nice and warm coat to wear!

If they can dig through the snow to get to the grass, they will. But it is hard for them to get enough to eat when there is so much snow on the ground.


The snow is pretty -- in the trees and on the grass. I like to take pictures in the snow and walk around. When I look back at my photo albums, I have a lot of snowy pictures.



The alpacas don't really mind it either, as long as it's not windy. If you think about it, their native home in the Andean Mountains of South America gets some pretty good snow in the winter time. So they are probably better equipped for the cold weather than we are.



But it is finally starting to thaw, and I'm ready!
