Winter Storm Takes Aim at South

A storm that toppled power lines, closed major highways and buried parts of the southern Plains in heavy ice and snow is heading our way. The snow, sleet and freezing rain were expected to crawl east and Central Tennessee could see up to 8 inches and western North Carolina could get hit with a foot of snow, according to the National Weather Service.

After last weeks flooding that knocked down some of our fencing, we now have snow and freezing rain.

My wife got me I-Kam Extreme sunglasses for Christmas.

They are video eyewear and are the coolest thing. I figured I would experiment a bit with them so here's a video of our Maremmas from this morning. This weather doesn't seem to bother the dogs any. They love it!

Sorry about the movement as I am trying to figure these out. I hope it doesn't make you dizzy!

It's a Pronkfest!

The alpacas are really loving the cold weather. For the past couple of weeks the temperature has been hovering around 10° for the low and 24° for the high. I finally caught them pronking with my camera. For those who have never seen an alpaca pronk it’s their way of showing excitement and happiness. Just as dogs wag their tails, cats purr and dolphins do exuberant acrobatics, alpacas… well, alpacas pronk. It's fun to watch and really a sight to see. Here is a short video clip that I was able to capture this afternoon:
