You are too kind!<br /><br />I totally enjoyed my "marathon" session and it did save some of the worry about how the births were going to come out. Brencis is simply too, too cute! <br /><br />At one point we had raised beds for the veg and did use copper tape strapped around the outside. I think it worked quite well. Pity we can't move the beds to the current house, but I'll have to see about having one or two made up here and then use the copper again. It really does seem to work quite well. I had tried crushed oyster shells, but not all plants enjoy the more alkaline soil as a result.

Then again your photos are quite stunning anyway and I would encourage anyone reading this blog to head on over and take a look. <br /><br />You must have had quite a marathon session catching up. Glad you enjoyed the ride. Maybe you should try some copper wire around the veggies - should keep the critters away and I suppose you wouldn't have a huge amount of veg to protect.

I planted some winter veggies last year and it was the snails that turned them into lace here. I seem to have almost caught up!

There are, of course, those who just want to settle down in their later years and then there are those who want to give a whole lot back and live a life of daring, or just fighting the injustices they see. I want to be in the latter two groups. <br /><br />Our skies are indeed beautiful at the moment, but our ponds are drying up, rather unusual for this time of year. Still I am sure we will be ruing the start of the rains soon enough, or even the snowJoannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08013060781688432165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3667528135627300426.post-60451212879712403782015-10-02T14:23:07.368+03:002015-10-02T14:23:07.368+03:00Being an anarchic Grandpa, I like that anarchic Gr...Being an anarchic Grandpa, I like that anarchic Grannies. :)<br />A couple of days ago, before the rains resumed, I was admiring the beauty of the sky and telling myself that I must be careful to never start taking it for granted.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08859125602809246773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3667528135627300426.post-28607965112010780412015-09-30T22:49:51.526+03:002015-09-30T22:49:51.526+03:00Nice to hear from a fellow alpaca breeder.

Still it is an idea and of course if anyone in Latvia would like to hire one of our alpacas for their wedding day, we would have to see what we can do too. I'm glad to hear that the trekking works well and that is something we plan to do next year, only our walks will be shorter probably unless we organise a trip in conjunction with some of our neighbours.
