Jackson & I took our lanterns up to the barn to feed, water and 'tuck-in' the llamas for the night. And we took a few photos of the progress, too. (Click pics for larger views)
Standing north of the barn. Both llamas are in the same pen because the other pen is full of construction materials. They don't seem to mind, but are a bit protective of their own food and try to steal each other's food, too. Lot's of 'spit threats'.
Looking south and west towards the barn. The llamas seem to appreciate having more room to wander around that is protected from snow and rain.
Cataleya is not bothered by snow like Catlinite. Of course, if Catlinite finds food then that's where he is. He has an almost one-track mind for food. Cataleya just likes having her picture taken.
I'm impressed with the amount of protected space created by this extended roofline. Not ony does it protect the llamas from the snow and rain, but it keeps the pens dryer and less muddy, too.
A view looking north torward the barn. Only one wall has the OSB, but I can already tell what a difference it makes in creating a draft/wind-free shelter.
Both llamas have quite a bit of dry, protected space now. I feel so relieved not having to worry every time it snows or rains. Or having to rush up to the barn and slog through foul weather to move them into the main barn area where they end up eating way too much hay and leaving large piles of llama beans where I have to walk.
Looking north toward the barn, through the blowing snow. Here you can see how far the new roofline comes out.
Jackson and I decided to take a walk through the snow and share some 'imagination moments'. It was really fun! And also a little spooky. Horses and cows make some of the creepiest sounds in the pitch-black dark of night.
Jackson took a pic of me, too. Looking at this photo reminds me of how much my Lithuanian heritage shows.

I remember snow and I hope I do not see alot of it this winter. I would like it to remain a distant memory.
