New attitude!

Just so you know and can appreciate this, I am working on a new attitude to offset my winter doldrums. We just returned from a cruise to the Bahamas where weather was also cold and wet (ugh!) and let me tell you, home and my bed with the electric blanket never looked so good! Cruise ships do not come equipped with electric blankets, but husbands are a good second to this.
At home, birthing season for our alpacas has arrived. Sooner than I had wished, but these girls were purchased already bred so the choice of birthing time was not mine. Nonetheless, I find myself excited with anticipation and my trips to the barn to observe for cria movement have been very rewarding. I am looking for births of two next week, and hopefully crias will arrive before we leave on Friday for our first show of the season!
Last Sunday I had the ultimate pleasure of spending the entire day with some of my alpaca "girl" friends. Led by Lindy Huber, the group engaged in felting hats from alpaca fiber. Hey! that was hard work! but in the end, we all looked marvelous in our felted hats which actually were worthy of wearing to the KY Derby! (well, I'm exaggerating) Lindy posted our photo on her blog and we look ravishing.
