What a beautiful setting!!! And is that your Teddy??? Alpaca? SO precious! And thanks for the chufa flour info; interesting! Just wondering if you have a kiln? Where do your fire your ceramics? They are so sweet, and you should definitely go on Etsy; LOVE Etsy, the home to so many fun homemade/crafted, hard to find stuff!

Yes, Teddy is a rescue, originally he was somewhere far upstate, and his companion alpaca passed away - he's an older boy but we do not know how old. He was pining away from loneliness. He was *theoretically" going to belong to our friend Andy, who is a spinner, but Andy's partner was not consulted, and at one point she said "it's him, or you" so Teddy - who cam to our farm in transition, returned to us, where he has not only a fellow camelid (Critter is a wazilla - half alpaca, half llama), but donkeys, dogs, and geese and other birds as companions.

I make and fire the ceramics at a partner farm, Meadows Bee farm, which has a ceramic open studio twice a week.

Today's fluffy Dog, Cat and Pet of the Day are up.

As is usual on Friday, chaotic day, now I have to get ready and head down to Farmers Market. All the baking is done, two other crisis dealt with.

Minutae the chicken is loose in the house, she has chicks and has adopted some she didn't hatch, so I cannot complain too much! She is the surviving daughter of Madeline, the Sizzle (Half Silkie, half Frizzle) chicken we lost to predators.

Sadly, Mr. Bean the goat is missing for over a day now, may have been chased by the coywolves and not know his way home. He had been tethered to Kritter the Wazilla, and Kermit found Kritter in the woods, but bean broke the tether. Kritter is home safe, thankfully.

Aww! Teddy is precious! So sorry to hear he lost his best friend. But between you and all of the other critter companions on the farm hopefully he's not too lonely! How neat that you have a neighbor nearby with a kiln that you can use. Hand molding is such fun!

Teddy is adorable! I'm glad he has all these new friends, after he'd lost his companion alpaca.

Minutae and the chicks sound like fun!

I hope Mr. Bean is safe and will be back home soon.

Today's Dog, Cat and Pet are up!

Thanks everyone, and pat, we do not know if we will ever see Mr. Bean again, as he was not yet particularly bonded to anyone here, but do hope he is safe out there somewhere. Here in the mountains, there's lots of woods to travel and get lost in, and he was not yet wethered - in fact, that was scheduled for yesterday - so may be wandering in search of lady goats too.

Hand molding is such fun!

It is! I have not played with clay since I was a kid, so this is such a blessing. And Meadows Bee Farm is owned by friends of Kermit's and is very close by, which I did not know until after I made the decision on this place. He had not said anything about that, because he didn't want to sway my opinion for his sake.

I have been on the road all day, getting animal feed, etc., will not be able to update the pets until late. Sigh. Sorry, folks.

Felt like fall this morning ...
