Today I put my right foot in my right welly only to discover that there seemed to be a rolled up sock in there, as my foot wouldn't go all the way in.
Only it wasn't a sock. It was a bloody huge frog. Not sure who had the biggest shock. My wellies are now staying indoors at night. The Alpacas Over the past couple of days I have convinced myself that Minky (the brown one) is pregnant. I've spent a lot of time staring at her stomach. From all angles. I'm sure I've seen movement. According to Google...you can often see movement six months into pregnancy. So who knows...maybe in 5-6 months we'll have a mini Minky. As I've been spending so much time with the girls I can now hand feed leaves to them. And we had a huge breakthrough yesterday when Minky ate dry food from the palm of my hand. This is massive. That's the closest to me that she has been. Every day when I go to pick paca poo they both look up (at the same time)...stare at me for a while...then stroll over to see what I'm up to. Then study me. With their big eyes. I'm really enjoying them. They're quietly comical. Placid. And the soft humming is calming. Dry-stone walling We made a start on the dry-stone wall at the back of the house. That's both of us. We both made a start. However, after a few hours of low-key bickering...I stood myself down from wall duties (to resume Alpaca belly observations) allowing Stu the space to do a good job on his own. I'm here if he needs me. Once the wall is complete we can start work on the back garden. There is a lot to do - at the moment it is split in three..the back yard area, a parking area, and the weeds (and oil tank) area. The aim is to clear the weeds and parking area gravel to create one long garden - yet to be designed. Though it will include a nice long washing line. A straight one...not the horrid round one I'm using at the moment. I've checked my phone to see what photos I've taken in the past couple of days. Sadly there are no frogs in wellies, or leaf eating Alpacas. But I did find this one of Mabel, helping Stu with some paperwork...
