My sister and brother-in-law came out here today to help with some chainsawing and clearing branches from the firebreaks. Two alpaca cria were/are due this month, so I've been keeping a pretty close watch on the alpaca paddock, but I was busy this morning reading Hornblower fanfic, cleaning the house and organising food for the day.

why is a brown spot a bad thing?

On the positive side, it'll make her easy to recognise!

I was driving through Chittering valley yesterday, went past a ploughed paddock with the crop just starting to show...and about 15 emus and kangaroos busily eating their way through it. I thought of you. :)
Shame about the brown spot...did Minnie produce the other brown-spotted cria as well?

Sherry's mother was Misty, and the cria have different sires, but Misty's mother is Minnie's grandmother, so they share some genetics. According to the pedigrees, that animal and its parents were all solid white (no markings), but maybe it carries spot genes! Or maybe the universe, knowing how much I like patterned Appaloosa horses, is just sending me all the spotted alpacas it can.

If you come out next month or in August, you can help plant some more trees! (I'm not sure whether that's an incentive or not. Probably not. Let's see, there would be food!)

You can also come out here in any other month and be confident that no tree planting will be required!

The trees look great - as does the time lapse photography..

It's amazing to look back on the early photos. I wouldn't guess that the trees in that area today are only three years old if I didn't know for certain that was the case!

Funny, that's what they say about me...

She's nearly old enough now that we could pick a suitor for her, though the mind boggles a bit at the idea of our little girl having sex! :)
