Wednesdays are busy at our house. Our homeschooling friends gather across town and there is the preparation for a day out with three kids. And the alpacas have grown accustomed to eating as well. 
. I prefer to take care of my farm chores soon after breakfast. On days when I have appointments at noon, breakfast and chores come earlier and are a little rushed. The alpacas don’t mind if I rush- as long as I fill those hay bins and freshen their water- they are happy! As far as they are concerned, pellets and poop removal are a bonus!
So today, like every Wefnesday, I approach the barn like a woman with a mission. I fill bins, buckets a wheelbarrows. I scoop, rake, dump all much faster than normal, which can be kind of stressful, but can also be really rewarding. It’s a great feeling of accomplishment to get all the necessary tasks done, and still have time for a little alpaca nose nuzzle*.
*That’s what I call it when little Peyton comes right up to see me- nose to nose…both of us humming
