Remember the saying, “Many hands make light work”?  That is one of my favorite sayings because it is So True!

Work was fun today.  Shareholders Bonita, and daughter Abby, came to help out, and we accomplished many tasks that had been weighing heavily on my shoulders.  Granddaughters Lizzie, Ally, and Georgia (“The Three Sisters”) were also here and helped out as wranglers and as go-fers!

First up was the trimming of several of the alpacas hooves.

Then there was the delousing of ALL of the goats (even Zeus and Blackie, who were NOT amused).

And finally the worming of the boys, which was pretty crazy, so there were no hands to take pictures!

Bonita and Abby jumped in with both hands and both feet.  Abby has vet tech experience, so she was a pro at giving the meds from the beginning.  She even taught me a few tricks!

We finished in record time, had lunch, then Bonita helped me pack up 1 ounce packages of kid mohair for our 2011 shareholders.  Yummy, soft, fiber, ALL of which will be distributed to my faithful shareholders.

I said goodbye to our hard working guests, and my hard working grandkids, ate a bite, then went off to load up more hay from my supplier.

Life is like that some days, full of hard work that really needs to be done, and I am TRULY GRATEFUL when there are many hands here at the Farm to help!
