Figaro hams it up for the cameras!

Figaro seems to be highly interested in the camera today.

Patience rewarded!

I had purchased these Bird Of Paradise flower seeds on a trip to Hawaii in 2005, I think it was.....
They were planted upon our return home that winter. It took the seeds 6 months to germinate, and today we have been graced with the first ever flower! Imagine this in my sunroom.

Finishing touches

We put the finishing touches on the new barn, adding a water tank connected to an indoor water fountain. It was a challenging job as the ground where the stand was to be built was very uneven. The guys were more than up to the job, it's level, secure and performing well.

Get ready for winter!

Here are a couple of snuggly warm, buttery soft alpaca throws that are newly finished.

Some new rug designs

We are playing around with alternative warps. Here is some outstanding results.

Hummingbirds?

If hummingbirds are starting to look like this I had better give up the wine!!!!

Weaving under way again

I created this colourful warp for a few tea towels. Doing dishes will be much more exciting!

Another one

Often when one cria is born more follow quickly. This wee gal was born 3 weeks early. She's out of the woods but has some growing to do. She is a daughter of Oreo Ben, a multiple Champion black.

First cria of the season

This beautiful girl is the first of 2014. A Blizzard (Snowmass) x Nikki offspring she is already looking like a winner. Sunbathing is a favorite pastime!

Shearing 2014

We had a great day shearing again this year, and many thanks to all of the volunteers that came on out to help. We enjoyed meeting all of you and truly appreciated your help.

Could summer be on it's way????

The girls at Rocaro Alpacas are taking the warm weather seriously. They have been playing in their wading pond all day! Thanks to our Helper Cecile for these great shots.

Alpaga Quebec Show

We took six alpacas to the first Alpaga Quebec Show in Drummondville this April.
It was a dynamic and very competitive show. In all, we took one First and for 4th place prizes. Excellent results considering the quality of alpacas there.

Show success

Congratulations to Arriba Linea Alpacas for their win with Rocaro's Hanley at Alpaca Ontario.

Waiting for spring

Even the alpacas are waiting for warmer weather.
