Maybe one reason we're so taken with the llamas is that we haven't had any animals of our own in a long time now. And the main reason is that since we haven't had any dogs in particular the property has become something of wildlife hangout and we get a different kind of pleasure from that. And no vet bills.

The past few mornings at least two does and their fawns have been in and around the yard. A couple of times I've stepped out and almost gagged on the strong smell of 'livestock'.

So we're off to the fair this afternoon. I'm gonna let The Mister decide about the bloomin' onion.
