I am going to continue posting to this blog, but it won't be very frequent. I have sold all but three of my alpacas. Well, sold isn't exactly the correct word. Placed, bartered and sold. Eight of them are going to some folks I have been mentoring, and in the meantime we have become really good friends. I just love them. Their farm is Muddy Waters Farm. They also raise goats and chickens, and make the most amazing wine and beer.
I am going to stay "on" as their consultant/midwife. Since all three of them work, I have offered to be on baby watch whenever a cria is due. I would miss that so much.
So, I'm very excited. I will have the pleasure of still being a part of the alpaca community, yet have my freedom from caring for animals. I can take off for a visit whenever I want, go on trips, vacations; wow.
I'm making plans to lease the land to organic farmers so I won't have to maintain the pastures.
This year, I am going to grow flowers and lettuce. Maybe a blueberry plant.
That's it.
Hmmmmmmm. We'll see.

Sounds like things are falling into place in a way that is really great for you. You can still get to be a 'paca "grandmom" (auntie??) and yet you can be more free to go places. If you ever want to come out this way, please know you have a place to stay!
