Summer weather update

New Hampshire is in the midst of summer, and it's been a mixture of typical New England weather:

• June was rainy all month long,
• July started off cool and clammy (ick!)
• July finished hot and humid (double ick!).     

Mother Nature is finally balancing out, and we're heading into August with comfortable temps in the 70s and lower humidity (ahhhhhh!).   This is the ideal scenario we dream about all year long.

Weather is very important when it comes to the animals we care for.  The alpacas respond to it similar to how we do, but they can't escape into air conditioning. 

We've been running the fans in the barn to move air and help the alpacas feel more comfortable.  On a hot day, it's not unusual to find them camped out in front of the fans all day long.  

But now that milder weather is here, we're seeing more sunbathing.

Speaking of Indie, she is doing wonderful.  While very clingy to her mom the first few weeks, she is now five weeks old and is becoming more independent and bravely ventures farther from her mom but always runs back to check-in or when Stormy calls her.  

Indie loves to run and play and most recently has been teasing her auntie Summer by provoking her to nip at her while Indie jumps away with a "can't catch me!" attitude.  

This little girl has spunk!
