Or National Alpaca Farm Day as it is sometimes called. Both of the AOBA web sites are up and running and I have to say they are a breath of fresh air. Well designed and full of useful functions plus sound and movement.... When I joined the site there were about 5 alpaca farms up there yesterday about 10 alpaca farms and when I looked just now there were fully fifty alpaca farms registered on the site.

All very impressive from a standing start. So congratulations to the AOBA marketing committee for thinking up Alpaca Farm Day or National Alpaca Farm Day whichever you prefer.

If you haven't registered then I suggest you do so at the earliest opportunity. just go to www.nationalalpacafarmday.com or www.alpacafarmday.com and spend your $25.

The weather looks like its set fair for the summer now and Mac has almost completed the topping of the alpaca pastures and the irrigation is working fine.

Still no sign of our first alpaca cria but she is now on her due date so it won't be very long.

The vegetable garden is bounding into life and everything is shooting up including the weed...the tomato plants outside my office are almost three feet tall and in the afternoon smell just delicious...as a child one of our friends grew tomatoes commercially and the smell always brings back happy memories of wandering in his ancient green house among the tomato plants.
