Wednesday Smorgasbord Served in Alpaca Farm

Join Watery Wednesday for some fun!

Please don't miss this out. Something to chuckle for.
There are certain queer times and occasions in this strange mixed affair we call life when a man takes his whole universe for a vast practical joke
 Herman Melville  (American short-story Writer, Novelist and Poet. Best known for his novels of the sea, including his masterpiece, Moby Dick. 1819-1891)

At the slight turn of my back, this brown one quickly turned around and triumphantly showed off his Watery Wednesday butt. That naughty unromantic guy.

Thoughts mixed with definiteness of purpose, persistence, and a burning desire are powerful things.

Ann, the owner, kisses this romantic fellow. Alpacas are social animals, very affectionate and can be treated like pets.


Among the many thousands of things that I have never been able to understand, one in particular stands out. That is the question of who was the first person who stood by a pile of sand and said, "You know, I bet if we took some of this and mixed it with a little potash and heated it, we could make a material that would be solid and yet transparent. We could call it glass." Call me obtuse, but you could stand me on a beach till the end of time and never would it occur to me to try to make it into windows.

Window wider than a cinema's screen, looking inside out. A part of Ann and Cameron's vast expanse of their property.




Wednesday



I'm not confused, I'm just well mixed

What a lovely cheerful sunny place to visit! I'm so glad I came. Your pictures are lovely. Those alpacas look adorablly friendly (well maybe not in the first picture exactly ;>)

Bonnie - you asked if chicory is used in salads. You can use the petals, to give some colour. Most often the roots are used to make a coffee substitute. Mostly it is a weed, with a flower I love. Those alpacas are cute!

Alpacas are too cute. Love the one with Ann smooching one of her alpacas. My parents have some friends who have an alpaca farm in Maine. I love to visit them and bring the alpacas treats.
