GREETINGS

FARM LIFE
I have noticed that Elliott is not walking as well and called a friend who knows a lot more about LLamas than I do. SHe was worried that it may be the meningeal worm which is carried by white tail deer. But after a closer look she thinks its arthritis. After all he is almost 20 which is the age when bad things happens to llamas.
I have had many old animals, each is different in things that happens to them. Elliott still gets up and eats and moves around. I will have the vet come and he will make suggestions and I will also check out the internet to see of other things I can do. He has been the best LLama and I will give him the things he needs to make his life more comfortable.
WINTER STORM
Tonight a winter storm is coming , snow sleet and then rain and tomorrow’s temps in the higher 40’s. I am hoping that rain does not come into the barn. Then we are in for a spell of cold weather. I have already gone through a cord of wood. I will have to get another cord at least. Next year maybe 4 cords will do me.
CHICKEN FEEDER
I bought this feeder a few years ago for a very low price on e-bay. I thought that it would work out in the barn but it didn’t. I looked at it for a while and thought it would look good as a small tea-table next to my chair in the livingroom.
But its taken me all this time to find a round tray for the top The metal tray was all rusted and came from my Cousin Bertie. Ricky drilled a couple of holes in the middle and Chris sanded it and now this is a piece of folk art. I do love it
The chickens have been enjoying these extra days out this winter.
I hope you have a wonderful day and many thanks for reading my blog. Carole
