(no subject)
22 March 2007 21:431. Crappy day at the Casa for everyone. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
2. Speaking of tomorrow, Dar and I will join two other members of the collective and head on down to East Auburn, NY for an alpaca seminar. The seminar isn't actually until Saturday morning, but it's too far away for us to make it there in time for the start. What's the subject, you ask? Why, it's Color Genetics. Breeding for color is pretty much a crap shoot, so we all look for as much guidance as we can get. Should be interesting. Plus the woman hosting it raises suris, too. There are so few of us that she's giddy to meet us. We're under orders to bring pictures of the babies.
3. Lost is winning me back. I like the turn of plot that happened last night, plus, you know, it featured my boy, Locke. Friday Night Lights was perfect, too, as usual.
4. Serenity is playing on the movie channel. I'm sucked in again. God, they were good, weren't they?
5. I bought some wash-out hair dye. It's too short and too dull looking right now, plus it's badly in need of some extra body until it starts to grow out a little. So, bye-bye to the gray for a couple of weeks. I wanted to dye it as close to my natural color as I could (light ash brown), but I couldn't find it anywhere. I went to four stores and nada. So I'm going back to red. That oughta freak the alpacas out.
6. I hoisted myself up to the loft in the barn to rearrange the hay bales and bring some of them closer to the edge. I'm still not thrilled with the height thing, but I figure the best way to overcome that is to just get used to being up there. And getting up there is a bit of a kick: it requires moving one of the hay storage bins over to the divider, then putting the 3-step stool on top of that, climbing on top of the bin, and then on top of the ladder and then kind of kicking off the top of the divider to finish getting my butt on the loft floor. We don't really have room for a full-fledged ladder in there, unfortunately.
7. The snow is still melting out back, but the flooding isn't as intense. The deepest snow is around the fence posts; I'd say we still have a good 12 inches of it out there. Soon, though - soon it will be gone. The paddocks are all muddy, but around the edges the green is starting to show. And we have bulbs coming up in the garden at the back of the house!
8. ( That pond will be frozen until July. )
