Is this thing on?

Checking on the new llamas. All photos by the author.

This week was exciting mostly because the two new llamas came on Wednesday. Poppers and Rheaa have been getting used to our barn and meeting the four sheep. Poppers is tall and alert at all times, and Rheaa is shorter and also always on the lookout. They were part of a herd of more than twenty llamas and being with four sheep will take some getting used to.

White oak leaves. They are perfect now.

In writing news, after I decided to not monetize Farm Friday anymore, last week’s post has had exactly one view, which is the same as the week before’s had last Friday. So it doesn’t seem to matter monetized or not — there just are not many eyeballs on Farm Friday. It is starting to feel like Vocal Media. Oh well. I’ll keep writing and taking photos.
