Our First Snow of the Season
In the Morning when the first flakes begin to fall
Today was our first snow of the season. It is always so much fun to watch the cria get all excited to see their first snow. I unfortunately had to work all day and missed seeing all the big flakes. But when I got home we still had a few inches and a little daylight. I took a few photos of the cria playing the decided I better get busy and get the chores done before it was completely dark. Alan works for a tire company so being the first snowfall they were slammed and super busy which meant that the evening chores were all mine.
All I can say is these alpacas were hungry today! I had to fill every one of the hay feeders this evening and I stocked them up before I left in the morning. Dragging the hay wagon was a bit of a challenge but it was still easier than making several trips back and forth with stacks of hay in my arms! I must say I am getting some muscles in my arms with all of this farm work! Good work out! I am thankful for the heated water buckets as well. No breaking ice for me! Enjoy the photos and stay tuned for more winter adventures!
