We have not been lucky this week even the weather has conspired against us. Jo flew down to Arizona yesterday and then couldn't get home when the local airport here closed due to a severe weather warning..... So she flew to San Fransisco got a few hours sleep then hired a car and headed north....only to get stuck on the Californian side of the pass without any snow chains..well you get the idea..... suffice to say she eventually made it home at 11am.

On the farm we spent the morning raking leaves and picking up some small branches that had come down in the high winds we experienced earlier in the week.

The alpacas are all looking well and I think its fair to say they are enjoying the mild winter we have had so far. In fact it has been so mild that Mt Ashland only opened for skiing today. Which is much later than usual.
