A visitor from back home

S's mom, Barb, has come to visit. (photo courtesy of G, the little guy)

She arrived on Sat afternoon and naturally, the first thing to do once she arrived was to go out and introduce her to the animals.

Shes not so sure about the llamas.

I let her know that they are very, very sweet.

And that they love you if you have carrots.

After that, she decided it was safe to move in a little closer.

We have been having a very plentiful plum harvest.

We have been making plum juice.

And plum jam.

And plum and yogurt popsicles.

And to show Barb that we dont just get to play with animals and fruit all day....
We do have to do work. Just ask G.

And some of it is really hard work. Like making cut out cows.

Can you believe just a couple days ago she was hesitant to be too close to the llamas?

And she did a great job at being goat grain monitor...the goat boys tend to get a little excited about their grain, ya know.

And just when I am already surprised beyond belief at the way she has taken to the animals....she goes one step further and gives out goat boy kisses and scratches. Such a very happy surprise!!!

And she said she didnt want to spend too much time outside....
