Today the part of Stephen will be played by Kerry, as Stephen came down with a case of “agriculture”.

So Kerry came with me to the Horowhenua A&P show and sat through the alpaca judging and the talk on skirting show fleeces. We also watched the judging of the biggest and littlest horses at the show, and shopped for geese (not many geese there, unfortunately). Then we went out for Sichuan for Emily’s birthday.

The symptoms of “agriculture” in this instance were bottle-feeding a cria from an alpaca we’re agisting, and driving to Kaitoke to pick up some hay (need to start laying in feed for the winter — the weather has been so hot and dry, there’s not much available at reasonable prices). Plus, Latte dropped a little dark gray tuxedo boy who is the cutest thing since Nabaztag, the little boy she produced last year.
