Layers. Alpaca socks of course but today was a two pair of gloves day. The cowl is a free pattern off ravelry and is quick to whip up. You have time to make a couple before evening chores. It is the Bandito Cowl by Kris Basta using our own alpaca lopi style yarn. Insulated jeans, muck boots and wind proof coat rounded out the wardrobe for morning chores.

The wind has picked up now, but one of the benefits of up and about at dawn is the beautiful beginning of the day no matter how frigid it may be.

Management meeting. They are bringing me upto speed on the coyote activity and negotiating a increase in their treats as overtime pay. How can you refuse those faces.

The pacas know I have the treat bag and will give them all extras.
