Woke up to a frosted farm today. Very pretty for morning chores.

Sol, our new llama, and the lambs dined al fresco on clean snow. Sol studies everything. Nothing escapes his attention: the Belties (Belted Galloway cattle) next door, tractors, mail truck, UPS deliveries. Today he'll get to watch Mike shovel snow. He just takes it all in.

The straw delivery truck earlier this week proved spooky.

Sol stood in the paddock some distance from the barn and watched with his ears cocked forward while the bales were tossed off the truck. The lambs clustered around his legs. He is quite instinctively stepping into his role as flock guardian.

And he is getting use cameras and iphones and the funny noises they make.
