Welcome! Thank you for stopping by my blog!
We have about six inches of fresh snow. Until last night, my Fjord horse had disdained his shelter. But, it finally got cold enough that he was actually sleeping in his shed when I got outside this morning.
Luna, my mama llama, wants nothing to do with snow. Inca, her baby, bounded out of the shed into the snow before she noticed it. Then suddenly Inca froze mid stride when she realized her whole world had changed overnight. She wanted to rush back to her mama’s side, but she was afraid to take another step. She took a tentative step forward only to stop and make pitiful cries. She did not like the sensation of the snow between her toes. She reminded me of a cat trying to avoid wet paws. Finally, as if she had mustered her courage, she bounded back the shed. She hurried to her mama’s side and sought the comfort of suckling her mama’s warm milk. I hurried to finish my barn chores and sought the comfort of hot coffee in the kitchen!
Greeting our newborn llama "Inca" in the pasture.
