Today was alpaca shearing day. All three girls got a new hairdo and look even more like Dr. Seuss characters than they did before! I can't say it's something they enjoy, but it was over fairly quickly and they will definitely be happy when the first 100 degree day of summer rolls around. I have to keep reminding myself that as we are not in the Peruvian Andes, here they are much more likely to die from heat stroke than from a chill.

Now we have three more bags of fiber, so it's encouraging me once again to find a class or local teacher who can show me how to spin to transform this beautiful fleece into yarn and begin knitting.

The goal is that one day everyone will get scarves and throw blankets for Christmas. I'm just not sure yet which year that will be!
