The three younger girls have been homestead-sitting.<\/p>\n

Caring for our neighbours homestead while they are away. On an Alaskan cruise!

One evening trip over there, I decided to bring along my camera.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It’s a shame my girls don’t like animals…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Just think of all the fun they could have if they did.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Feeding all these animals just feels so much like work to them.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Next, the HAD<\/strong><\/em> to feed the Llamas. They hate that part too.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Check out that miserable face!<\/p>\n

And speaking of miserable, the llamas don’t like me. One of them REALLY doesn’t like me.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I’m a ‘whistler’. I like to whistle, a lot. I often whistle while I work.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I’ve found out, these llama’s, the one in particular, does NOT like the sound of whistling.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What a look! Anger, pure anger.<\/p>\n

He spit at me. Oh yes he did. A great big spit too. A great big spit with lots of food in his mouth.<\/p>\n

I don’t think we’ll ever add Llama’s to our homestead.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And once again we have my miserable girls.<\/p>\n

They are saying goodbye to the chicks.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Good Night, Good Night!
\nParting is such sweet sorrow,
\nthat I shall say goodnight till it be morrow.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Good thing my girls don’t like animals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
