This:

is Flint. Flint is the family llama, who lives with and is owned by my future mother-in-law. Flint is not overly friendly, but he watches over the sheep, and is beautiful. Someday I will spin his wool into lovely lovely brown yarn.

And this:

is me feeding Flint. I was very excited that he would eat out of my hand. I’d fed him roses before, but not since last spring, and I was told Flint was a little resistant to eating from someone’s hand. It was a big enough deal that both TheBoy and his mom ran for cameras. Good times with the family, good times.
