I never thought one could be so busy and still not get it all done. Everyday is an adventure and if I don't write it all down right then and there by the time the next day comes with all its cool happenings it seems like a distant memory replaced by the next big day.

All in all it is you that are missing out on all the news. Here are a few of the tidbits you missed. I couldn't possibly remember all the cool stuff but...

• We went to another show in Pasco, Washington. I got to drive the trailer over a mountain pass with snow! A real nail biter!
• We did great at said show!
• All of the herd is clipped and ready for summer.
• I sheared a few of the animals myself this year- harder than it looks- but doable.
• Brave Heart the hen is broody and with my luck will hatch out all roosters.
• The haying is done.
• We got a new lawn tractor (okay it is really a mower but is called a tractor for some reason) I am loving it.
• The kids are out of school for the summer
• The farm stand is open for the year and we have had lots of visitors

As I said if I don't write it down right away it is lost. I am sorry you have missed all of the fun but stay tuned anyway.

Here are a few pictures that Luke took at the Alpaca Showcase when I asked him to get ready for shearing by taking pictures of animals that had neatly trimmed heads. I wanted the photos to use for models to give us something to shoot for.

This is what he came up with- I should have been more clear.
