Our little orphan
Annie went to her home this month. We have had a lot of rain and were waiting for a clear day to make the move. She still needs her bottles for a couple of months, but my friend is well enough now to take care of her, so she went home to learn to be a llama.
This was her first encounter with a llama since the day she was born! She's come a long way since that first day.
And she fit in just fine! I am thrilled that she is now with her llama family and doing so well.
A couple of weeks after Annie went home, we got the chance to go visit her. Along the way we got some shots of the river, and got a glimpse of exactly how much rain we've gotten lately! River road has been closed because the water was over the road in a number of places. We went through the day it started clearing.
You can see on the trees how high the water was. In 20 years, I've never seen the river so high.
Most of these trees are not normally under water...
Where there is normally about 20 feet of clearance under the bridge, there is only about 10 feet.
We got to spend some up close and personal time with the donkeys...
And finally got to see Annie and give her a bottle. She is doing very well with her family, and has certainly kept her appetite!
We also had our first water lilly bloom of the year. This plant has bloomed every year since we bought it in 2001. I was afraid I had killed it last year when we cleaned out the pond, but it has hung in there.
The lillies are beautiful, each bloom lasts about 2 days.
