Yeah, Good things come to those that wait, and wait and wait. Well we’ve waited a long time, nearly 3 years since we purchased Sonatina and Chardonnay !! On March 15 we welcomed 6 alpacas home !! Matt almost didn’t make it down the road, but he took it slowly and came down in the pickup first to scope it out.

First off the truck was little miss September Rain. At just under 6 months of age she had just been on her first trailer ride and along the way she met some new herdmates.

We were lucky enough to be able to purchase 3 females from a retirement sale. Matt had picked them all up and delivered them to the new owners. So along with September Rain, Chispero and Chardonnay we welcomed home, Ilsa, Sunspot and Judith who had been on the trailer for several days during a long ride. They were all very glad to be off the trailer and on solid grazing ground.

All seem to be getting along fine and are settling into a routine. A routine that we are also developing as we go along. Alexis is learning new skills like herding and fiber gawking. Just today she came running into the office to get me. “Grammy Grammy… you have GOT to see this FLEECE!!” Sure enough Paul had caught Ilsa and was holding her so we could take a look at her fleece. Every day is an adventure !!
