Everyone has at least one job on the farm. Zelda has two, chief critter getter and head trash can retrieval assistant. From the road to the barn, she hitches a ride and assists.

Happy National Dog Day to Phoebe, Anders and Nash 🐾 💕🐾

08/26/2024

He said he would be on high-alert for creepy crawlers while we weeded a garden bed.
Looks like we all need to talk about our definitions of “high-alert.” 😆

08/23/2024

We sure are looking forward to seeing you all

08/20/2024

A new visitor to the farm. He/she was running up the drive at breakfast time just like our cats do. Andy thought it was one of our cats, it was huge!! When he got close enough, it was obvious that it was not a cat. We went to get cameras and being camera shy and all, he headed up a tree. 😉 we did the best we could to get pics. Are large fox squirrels often seen in our area??

As the moon rises over the garden, the moon flowers begin to bloom. 💕

Wishing you all a great week, and asking that you do your favorite rain dance over and over 😉

A treasure(d) box. Andy crafted this box many years ago for his Mom. Cheryl wove the sides with yarn made from the fiber of Humming Star’s alpacas. ❤️

Nash’s best gator impression 😉
He is way too handsome to pull off a good gator impression, but he tried 💕

Realizing (last night) that a red scarf would be needed for this weekend, I went through my supplies and found a silk scarf and dye. My advisors, Lilly and Zelda, agreed that they would assist AFTER they had their dinner and they did.
Tada - a pretty red silk scarf.
Going through supplies got me excited to start working on our fiber art workshop schedules. Stay tuned.
Have a really good weekend 🦙

Pete’s tip for the day…..
Staying in front of a barrel fan all day will give you a Don King vibe. 😉

07/11/2024

We all want to keep the water in Walter’s soaking pond cool. E&C helped by adding cold well water to his pond 💕 and now he has a shade fabric to hopefully keep the water cool.
The alpacas are now getting a large shade fabric to hang over their splash pad.
We hope you all are able to stay cool !!!

Jubilee thinks standing in the water from her splash pad while she eats grass, is great. She has plain water and water with electrolytes in the barn, but the sipping from the splash pad while eating grass is much more challenging and fun.
Happy 4th to you all!

06/28/2024

During these hot summer days, the cats and dogs want to stay in the AC most of the day. Fortunately, we have a portion of the barn that is cooled. All are inside now, and it is obvious who gets their way. Hahaha

06/23/2024

Ol’ Walter loves a cool soak on these hot days❤️
When he enters the water, he puts his head under, with his eyes open and walks to the bottom. Not sure why he does this, unless he is gaging the depth of the water. Anyone with Sulcatas know the reason?

06/21/2024

Henry is looking for more tomatoes. Just a good garden helper.
Wish he had skills to rid my cucumbers of pickle worms. 🙂

06/14/2024

We saw this big ol’ fella outside of Anchorage. The musk-ox has a down fur called Qiviut. It is valued for its softness and warmth. Of course, I had to buy a couple of skeins, will let you guys know how it works up. 💕 🧣

06/14/2024

Please share: The injured cat that was brought to us yesterday is still here. No luck finding the owner. This precious baby is receiving great care and is undergoing surgery today for her injured lip. If anyone has any information that could help, please reach out to us.

06/14/2024

One of the best blessings we have received from our farm is the friends we have had the opportunity to meet ❤️
Barbara is certainly one of those friends. When she is in Fairhope she comes to fiber art classes at the farm. Recently, we had a lay over in her home town of Anchorage, Alaska. So, she grabbed us for dinner and tours of the city. So much fun! Thank you, Barbara! We had a wonderful time spending the day with you. 💕🦙💕

Happy 13th birthday, Carina. Fancy is such a good mom 🦙💕🦙

05/29/2024

When the outside temp is close to 90 degrees and you don’t want to stay inside, manners don’t matter. Just stay cool however you can.
Henry doesn’t practice using his manners when it is hot…well, actually he never practices using his manners. 😂

05/27/2024

The cruise ship has an Orange Party because orange is the color most associated with the Netherlands/Dutch. Everyone wears orange to the party, so I am felting an orange scarf to wear…., another ‘happy’ about having a fiber farm 🦙 🧣

05/25/2024

Happy 7th birthday to this ol’ fella !!
Sweet Anders, such a love ❤️❤️❤️

Our visitors often ask about the “craters” in our pastures.
Alpacas roll and dust themselves (much like dogs). They choose a spot and continue to roll in that spot until the hole becomes too deep for them to be comfortable, then they choose another area.
The rain provides a nice cooling off spot during the summer.
Wishing you all a great Saturday.🦙🦙

Some of workers request fans while guarding the gardens. 😁
Maybe he is a bit spoiled.

Georgia is enjoying freshly cut grass while waiting on a beautiful night sky.

05/07/2024

Andy and Anders decided that this Tuesday morning was a perfect morning to create a soaking pool for Walter.
Walter approves! ❤️ 🐢 ❤️

04/10/2024

Anyone else enjoy rose and hibiscus petals for lunch.? This boy loves them and it is the reason he follows anyone wearing pink, red, orange or yellow shoes around the pasture. 😁

04/08/2024

Not alpaca related, but thought some of you might know…..
We have a number of these “nest/cocoons” in a tree in Cheryl’s garden area. What builds this small STURDY home?

Jubilee celebrating the 4th.

“Guardening”

Some of workers request fans while guarding the gardens. 😁 Maybe he is a bit spoiled.

Bolt’s dinner

Tumbleweed has dental issues that require some additional dinner (mush) for him to get sufficient nutrition. Bolt is envious of TW’s mush so we give Bolt a little so he won’t eat TW’s. Bolt does not like to eat out of Tupperware so he will throw the dish in the air until all mush is on the floor, then he gobbles it up. Who knows why. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Strolling in the rain

Of the 20 animals that live on our farm, only Walter thinks a long stroll in the rain is a good idea 😉

Carina says Thanks!

Carina here! Wow! What a fabulous day. I,and everyone at the farm, wants to say thank you to all our friends that came to the farm today. We appreciate you always, and especially when you brave the rains to visit with us.

South Alabama Senior Travelers

We so enjoyed this great group of folks this morning! Thanks to Carol for organizing this visit! 🦙💕🦙

Monarch Caterpillars

Video is not super clear, but this morning we discovered 13 caterpillars devouring our milkweed. Cool beans, can’t wait to see the butterflies! ❤️

Cleaning the fence row

Phoebe will guard her people no matter the heat. She walks the pastures and the garden while we are working, no matter how many hours are involved-she stays with us.. A Pyrs’ dedication is amazing.

This girl is celebrating the BIG 20 today! She loves field trips, yoga, camp, open house, FFD, and all events that bring her friends to the farm. She is the girl that started Humming Star Alpacas!!!

So much fun and creativity happening today. We hammered glass into small pieces and then put it back together creating beautiful designs. Will post more pics in a few days. Thanks Molly for teaching us about mosaics.💕

A gorgeous day for a field trip, including lunch alfresco ♥️

Happy Wednesday! Everyone on the farm has had breakfast and is ready for the first field trip of 2023. Just waiting on our friends from Northview 4-H to arrive 🦙🦙🦙

Need a nose kiss? Come visit with Pete 😉 He has some alpaca gifts to offer, too. ❤️ we are open today, 10-2:00

It’s official. Every’body’ at the farm voted. It is unanimous, this is our mostest favoritist farm manager ever❤️🦙❤️

Have you ever wondered what alpacas sound like when they are impatiently waiting for their breakfast? Lots of humming!!! The smacking is Phoebe finishing her breakfast 😁

It is so nice to see the girls grazing in the pasture. It has been so wet and so hot that they have not wanted to go out of the barn in quite sometime. We sure are ready for the cooler weather. 🦙💕
