Happy Birthday month to my kids who were all born in June! I'm behind in announcing their 🎂 birthdays!! Buckeye is 4 years old this month! Java, who was born on our farm is 8 years old already! I believe White Sox was born in June but am not sure of the date. Princess Diana would've been 7rs old this year. Unfortunately, she passed of a brain tumor this year 😔. We were very upset by this. Made me cry.
May birthdays 🎂 were our newest boy, Little Gray, who turned 3. It's also Jonos birthday, who got a rough start in life and had surgery and was in OSU Vetinary hospital a couple times. Marz turned 16 this year! And, Lucy also turned 16. I'm thankful that Lucy was adopted by friends of mine who had a pasture of girls to hang out with. And, Tommy... He's such a sweet boy. We have all boys here now! They were so intrigued by Dave's mini-Donkey, Peanut that he got a great pic!

Happy 3rd Birthday to our newest and youngest member of the farm family Little Earl Grey. We just love him. He wags his tail like a dog and comes running to see you. Its very cute. On shearing day, he did spit on Dave 6 times which was not so cute... But, it was a trying, stressful time. All good now tho. He's just one of the boys! And yes... We brought him home in the back of my cousin, Tom's van about a month ago. He's just too cute!

This week we started off with shearing and now I have 8 blankets of alpaca fiber to turn into yarn. So fun to think about how to make it this year. I love to add a silk multi-color to the fiber. The Alpacas all look at each other and act like they don't recognize one another. It's quite comical. With Carl Marcum (Dave) and Julie Myers

Looks who is Sweet 16 it is. LUCY.... HAPPY 🎂 BIRTHDAY! We love you and you gave us such a beautiful boy, named Tommy-Terry. I brought her home when she was about a year old. She kissed Marz right off when she came in the barn. That Pic I took is still on my business cards today. And, check out her beautiful yarn skeins here too. I just got my yarn back from the mill.

Good morning everyone! Just a reminder to make sure you have your bird nesting hearts put outside for bird nesting! Mine is hanging under my porch and I've already refilled it once. I think hanging them in trees are good too. I've been experimenting. I still have a few left here at the alpaca farm if you need one for a gift or Mother's Day! 15.00 each. You can get refill fiber here as well. I feed the birds and love taking pictures of them outside my kitchen windows. Im open by appointment by calling our farm store. I just got a new shipment of socks in too!
