Welcome to my first blog!!

I have been thinking about writing a blog and sharing my alpaca lifestyle with all you cyberspace addicts for awhile now and finally ready to go. As a former teacher, now full time alpaca rancher, it is instinctive of me to want to share knowledge! You learn knowledge through visual, auditory, tactile, and kinesthetic. Do you know your strongest learning type? Think about it and think back(way back) to when you were in school. What was the easiest subjects for you to learn and why?

I am a tactile and kinesthetic learner and that is why alpacas are a natural fit into my lifestyle! I look forward to going out and seeing them every morning and saying good night to them before I head in the house and into my PJs for the evening! I appreciate and enjoy working with the fleece. For all you "lost" fanatics, the fiber is my CONSTANT! The more I learn about alpaca fiber, the more I get excited about its potential and the possibilities of using it in a textile industry.

The kinesthetic is the day to day interaction I experience with my wonderful herd of alpacas. Right now I am watching them closely as I have 5 more crias(baby alpacas) due between now and mid June! We had one last week and he wants some friends to play with! Will keep you posted when they finally grace us with their presence!

Stay tuned as I will be updating weekly with new births, and projects (alpaca training, fiber, tours to our ranch, and everything else exciting going on with our alpaca lifestyle) Gotta go and check the herd in case there is a new surprise for me!
