Gardenfest with Alpacas

Middletown, VA


This annual event is a good place to buy plants, but this year all I bought was a T-shirt from a wildlife rescue. 


A couple of cute alpacas caught my eye. A bag of hay served as their outdoor café.




Charlie waited in the car with his friend Sadie and her mom, Deborah. Then I took a turn waiting with the dogs so that Deborah could visit the vendors. Sadie did not seem to want her picture taken. 



She’s actually a pretty dog, but she made faces at me.

For Charlie’s fans, here’s a picture of him with a painterly filter added in the BeCasso app.

  8. Alpaca poop is pretty expensive. Looks like a nice stop. I buy tshirts from places that sell them for raising money for their cause.
