With Erin visiting from the east coast, Heather and I took her to my parents’ place to meet the young chickens and the llamas. My dad picked up one of the chicks for Heather and Erin to visit with.
We said hello to Grace Ann. She is an elderly llama who has lived on the farm since she was born 20 years ago.
We also fed Goddard and Webster.

Yesterday I got a call from my parents that a new, unexpected baby llama had been born. I went up to Newberg to help with the baby and check out the new addition to the farm. I found a wonderful, healthy little girl.
All of the other llamas were very interested in the new arrival.
Yes, she’s adorable. One day she’ll be as big as all of the other llamas.
