June 12th and yesterday it hailed.
Today continues to be cold and dreary and my poor shorn alpacas are out shivering. I tried putting coats and sweaters on them but they would have none of it.
I have just a few mamma's due anytime soon. I hope they wait till later this week when the temps are supposed to climb and be in the 90's. Never boring in the Sierras.
This week starts El Dorado county fair and all that that entails. Just to complicate things the trucks transmission went out. We are borrowing cars and trucks to get around. Thank goodness for the generosity of friends. If you're in Placerville this coming Friday, we will be in the horse arena at noon with alpacas and llamas.
Farmers market started this month and with it all the wonderful community that comes out and joins together at the park Saturday mornings. Wonderful friends and music come together and purchase locally produced crafts and garden fresh veggies. We are so blessed to have such a group that keeps this market going. Katie of Stardome Alpacas of Cool and I set up and have our handspun alpaca yarn and and hand knit gifts available as well as some commercially produced alpaca items. The most popular being alpaca SOCKS! Warm and soft. We are still working toward our goal of getting our own sock machine and providing our area with socks made from our own alpacas. Keep watching here as things start coming together!!
