My "Rural" "Heart"!

In my heart I am a farmer!

So today, in honor of Rural Thursday,
I got down & dirty on the farm!

invited me to spend time with her, at her parents Alpaca Farm,
Arrow Acres Farm

I was only a tad excited,
it's about 95 degrees here in the shade,
I thought about cancelling but I just couldn't do it.

Are you ready for a picture overload??

Here's what's happening in my neck of the woods...

How cute is that face??
He's a male, the boys and girls don't "play" together.

A little tooth action.

Spicy

Water play!!

They mostly do this!!

This is Reno, one of the new babies.

He is soft, sweet and full of personality.

Andee and her mom introduced me to all the Alpaca's.

They made sure I knew every one's name.
I can only remember Spicy and Reno (sigh), it was hot!

Do you see Spicy's heart??

Sharing this image with Clytie's Random Hearts

Here's a closer look!

This is Geneva.
She is ready to give birth, any second.
I was hoping she would do it while I was there, no luck.

This was my favorite image of the day.

And this one too...Andee and I.
Her personality is about as sweet as that pink shirt she's wearing.

Thanks Andee for your friendship, I had a blast.

I'm sharing today with
Please visit Nancy at A Rural Journal
and Lisa at Two Bears Farm

she has a wonderful blog!!

Debbie!
Alpacas are lovely animals.
The first time I see such large quantities.
Your pictures and post are great.
In Poland it is also very hot. Temperature of 35 degrees Celsjusza.
Best regards.

They all look so cute, but so hot with their fur coats.

Lisa Gordon said...

The second one here is absolutely priceless Debbie.
They are so adorable.

Clytie said...

Awe, I am so glad you decided to go visit the darlings despite the heat! Cuteness overload! Especially with the precious heart!!!

It looks like the alpacas have recently been sheared. I would think that would help them stay cooler?

Lmkazmierczak said...

Glad to her you had a good time. I'd heard alpaca's had a lot of personality. You just showed us♫♪

MarmePurl said...

You need alpacas in you life. For Real.

HI Debbie, I enjoyed this alpaca farm visit. They have to be one of the cutest farm animals I have ever seen. I am surprised you did not buy a farm, you could have your own alpacas. Wonderful photos. Have a great day and stay cool.

Ruth Hiebert said...

I can feel the excitement in this post. You look like one happy farmer.

Gillian Olson said...

That is very hot, as T said a very hot day for wearing a blanket. Very cute animals especially the last one, looking like a chipmunk preparing for the winter.

Bonnie said...

Oh what wonderful fun. You look perfectly at home. Hugs! Bonnie

Deanna said...

What a lovely day and the alpacas are wonderful. I do love the looks on their faces.

I think you are busier photographing than dirty your hands on the farm.

Lisa @ Two Bears Farm said...

What great pics - I love the tooth action pic.

Amy Burzese said...

Ok, I think I've said this before once or twice, but they are the cutest things I've seen in a while.

Anonymous said...

How cool is that! I have never seen an Alpaca in real. There is none in Trinidad. They look like stuffed toys. :) The babies are too cute.

I am your newest GFC follower. Awesome blog.
