Murphy's Law

We are all aware of Murphys Law, the concept that "whatever can possibly happen will do so at the worst possible time."  Lately it seems like my life is a parody of  that. We have had pipes break several times this winter, the last one broke the pump. So,  a replacement pump and  many water lines later,  I am hoping for no more  negative 20s and lower temperatures.  Ive been sick off and on since Christmas, and finally am feeling human again, I would like it to stay that way!

Progress continues with the Llamas.  Harley will eat from my hand, and let me touch his neck briefly.  Dolly and the cria wont get that close, but Dolly is braver at least in sniffing at the corn in my hand.  Funny thing is to look out and see Sam, our big sweet Mule, with his neck lowered over the fence rail into the Llamas pen.  The cria actually nuzzles him, and hums, as llamas do. He is such a gentle animal, and even though she is not much larger than his head, she seems to not fear him.

Our small  family of deer are staying close by.  This afternoon I watched six as they nibbled at the side field. They work as a team, five eating while one watches, then trading off.  A neighboring dog was barking, and you could see that the watch-deer was anxious. Once she realised the dog was nowhere close, she seemed to relax.  They were in the same place for maybe an hour before moving off, maybe for a nap in the sunshine.

I finished some small sewing projects today before beginning some new ones.  I may post pictures later as the new projects take shape.  I enjoy finishing something that I started, the knowing that  I stuck with it, and made it useable.  Would love to hear of any projects that you have begun.  have a great day!
