We would like to proudly welcome Moonwood’s Why So Serious, born today at noon EST, a dark brown boy weighing 18 pounds, sired by Captain Black of Zenith Alpacas. Rachel is enroute to South Carolina, but her parents-in-law Ron and Lee Gsellman of Alpaca Gsellman Originals of Old Willow Farm reported that he’s cute, very strong, and vibrant. There was a bit of excessive bleeding from the umbellical cord, but Ron is monitoring this and will have a clamp put on it if the need arises.
Sooooo happy to hear Mazara delivered the cria all by herself, no issues! Now of course I’m very anxious to get to OH to see him, but I must wait until Mazara is ready to be rebred so that I can attend to everything at once while I am there.
Woo-hoooooo!!!!!!

One of the things I am immensely looking forward to when we move onto the farm is a huge garden of organic vegetables and a pumpkin patch! Over the years, both here and in Australia, I have grown vegetables, but the gardens were always very small and I could only grow enough to supplement, not enough to actually live off. More and more, with each passing year, I am increasingly saddened that everything in our lives is permeated with toxins, poisons and plastic. Today I received an email from a friend, which shows a slideshow about plastic bags. I’m excited that FINALLY it looks like a turning point has been reached:

This is very interesting … I know that most of us use our cloth bags as much as possible, but this certainly made me realize how important it is to never forget them in the car, or at least run out to the car to get them before they start bagging my groceries.
Some of it isn’t new news, but I had no idea of just how much plastic bag use and oil comsumption were so linked.
