On Saturday R and I traveled two hours west to the Adison County Fair and Field Days. We paid $20.00 to get in!!!! I ate ribs, he had fried dough. We shared a creemee. We watched the small truck pulls and perused the livestock. Towards the end of the circle we came across a pair of cria (baby alpacas). They were up for adoption, $300.00. This probably means $600.00 because you cannot adopt just one, they are herd animals and require company. Anyway, this has really got my gears turnin'. I've been interested in Alpacas for a long time. I think that maybe when we "move on" in 3-5 years, I will get into the Alpaca scene. I'm not sure if I want to go as far as breeding and trying to make a living at it, or if I just want to adopt a pair as pets for companions and for fleece, since I love to knit, and have always wanted to learn to spin. Actually I'd love to follow the whole process....shearing, cleaning, carding, spinning, dying, knitting!
On the way home from Adison I took a couple of cell phone photos of the beautiful landscape, Adirondack mountains are beautiful....
Happy Tuesday.
