Loving the Country Life!

This past weekend was very full.  We got to go to Bluffton, Ohio and learn from Dr. Cheryl DeWitt how to deliver baby Alpacas called Cria.  Very interesting.  I hope when the time comes I will be able to help momma if I need to, although I hope the deliveries this year will be very uneventful since we are new at this.


On Sunday, we got to go to church and did our usual weekly grocery shopping date, came home from that and speed cleaned our house for company coming.  My brother-in-law Mike brought down a buddy from Indianapolis (a city kid) who had never been to a farm and had never seen an alpaca.  We visited most of the afternoon and not sure if Marcus will ever visit us again but I know it is one farm visit that he will remember.  I showed him my looms and spinning wheel and he told me he had seen that at Conner Prairie when he was a kid.  He was intrigued with the whole process.  He saw how we comb the sheared fiber and turn it into yarn.  It was a good thing.  

It was a great day on the farm and ended with a tractor ride with my husband to the back in the very muddy field to remove a fallen tree branch for our farmer who will tend our fields soon.  Now I know why our neighbors the Sharps take their "mule" ride in the evenings.......................
