sprouting up a swimmin' hole

The okra and cucumbers and pumkins have sprouted in the indoor greenhouse. The greenbeans and soybeans have broken ground with their fat little heads outside! Hooray for veggie gardening!

I bought a kiddie pool for the alpaca girls. From the looks of the muddy water, they enjoyed a day at the swimmin' hole. It has been HOT here (in the 80s) and while most of the animals will be shorn on Monday, the girls who are close to their due dates won't be shorn until after they deliver...so we're trying to give them opportunities for cooling off.

12 eggs today. Yes, I know that seems crazy, but we didn't collect them the last 2 days, so I gathered 9 eggs this morning after setting up the swimmin hole, and 3 more eggs after feeding this evening!
