Llama Extreme Makeover
On Tuesday, Megan and Madeline’s 4H llama project leader came over to shear
their llamas. The boys did well since it was Linus’s first time and Ruger’s
second. Here are the before and after shots.
Megan had to put sunscreen on Linus to protect his fair skin.
Looking good. Now the fun part, what to do with all that beautiful fiber...?
Spring Work Day 2009
Yesterday we hosted our second annual Spring Work Day. Forty seven people
came from near and far to lend a hand. Storms were in the forecast but God
provided the perfect day for working hard. We are so grateful for all the work
that was done. Approximately 300 hours of work was accomplished in one day!!
It was a huge encouragement to Becky and me and a great blessing to the
ministry. Here are some pictures of the crews and the jobs that were completed…
Tough bunch of rakers!

Signs of Spring
Spring is finally here!
First daffodils.
First chicks.
We are finally finished lambing. We had 30 lambs total with 60% ewes lambs this year.
School Groups
This spring we have had the opportunity to host public, private and home
school groups for educational programs. The kids enjoy seeing the animals
and get the chance to learn about stock dogs, lambs, llamas, wool and
maple syrup and the character qualities they represent.
This is a group of young students playing a stock dog game that’s like
red light - green light.
Blueberries
This spring we wanted to move ~ 20 blueberry plants out of the center of the
circular driveway for their protection and productivity. With the generous help
and expertise of Dr. Virgil Dick, one of our veterinarians, they are now safely
relocated outside the garden.
