Looks like winter has arrived

After two weeks of wonderfully dry weather, the rain and wind have returned with gusto! I think that we must have had some wind gusts of close to 40 mph this morning...hoping that our power stays on today! I am not fond of fall/winter because everything is turning brown and dying and the grass stops growing for the alpacas. And...when the alpacas want to give me a hug, I get soaked! Stocking up the store with gloves, scarves, sweaters and socks for the winter season. Christmas is just around the corner. Where does the time go? Before we know it we will have snow!
