Another Peaceful Day

Our knit group met on Earth Day for an afternoon of knitting, snacking, and enjoying hanging out with the Alpacas at Peaceful Prairie Ranch! (so cool I can see their ranch from my house...well almost, they are about 5 minutes away) The alpacas are 1 week away from being shorn for the year. They sure looked a bit fluffy compared to my last visit with them in October.

The backside of a pregnant alpaca. There were about 6 ready to be birthed in the near future.

Such a relaxing way to spend the afternoon. Sun, knitting, good friends (that bring great snacks and drinks!) and beautiful scenery!

What a fun day! It's amazing the colors they come in. I went to a farm near me with a couple friends last fall and it was fun! Of course I haven't made anything with the hank I bought yet, but it is fun to look at and pet!
