Dreamfarm Girl: You're very welcome! Thank you for commenting. I'll trade you some apples for some squash!

Wendy Blum: HA! We did the whole apple-picking thing...and I over-estimated what we'd need...by just a smidge. I'm totally with you on the "NO SNOW" rule. I'd love it if the temp stayed at 70! Wouldn't that be just heaven??

saku chan: HA! The alpaca looks like Bella? And that's the name of my post...I can see how you'd be confused!!

Preshant: ALPACA! A strange, yet friendly-looking animal, right?

Wow! That's a load of apple food, woman,lol. You own an orchard?! Here in Ohio, we're very thankful of the beautiful weather. I for one am not in the least interested as to why it's so warm. I would be happy if it were to stay 69-70 degrees all winter and not shed a single tear if not one snowflake fell at Christmas time. Do you own the llama? Or did you donate your apples to a farm or zoo? Seems as you'd have enough,lol =D

Darn! I missed the prize for guessing alpaca. though I would have said llama anyway. I can relate to the apple part of the story -- when the squash come in, that is all we have day and night. it's amazing how many ways you can disguise a squash. thanks for the fun read!

Katheryn - Why was I not aware of this spitting-thing? Is it possible that llama's spit and Alpacas don't? Or were they just polite enough to not spit around ME?

These animals have a built in survival instinct, face it I'm still limping because I took to long to take off the word verification from my site - that was a hefty old tackle you put in. Do the math, what would they get for a first time spitting offence.....

It’s kind of depressing to realise
I have less of a survival instinct than your average llama or alpacas...

snoble24: Very close! It's an alpaca...which I believe is in the llama family. Yes...totally too many apples!!

Oddyoddyo13: You are very welcome! You brighten up MY day with your comments, so it's a win/win!

Christiejolu: Welcome! I'm glad you're here! Okay, well...you can come and get this cold weather any time you want! I'll gladly trade...I'm SICK of winter and it hasn't even started yet!!

Hello! I have been reading your blog, you are funny. I haven't had a chance to comment! Be careful what you wish for with the winters though. I lived in New York and moved to Arizona where it is still in the 90's! I would give anything for a bit of cold and snow now!

2009-11-09T17:41:44.615-05:00
Spot: Ew! You're still having those demon beetle-bug-thingies? Nope...the only things I saw here were some ladybugs and a few errant flies....and the flies died by nightfall. Weird. I'd tell Taylor he rocks, but we won't be able to fit his head thru the door, so we'll keep this info between us...yes?

RON! Aw, Ronny! I'll email you the WHOLE FREAKIN' BATCH!! We're all SICK OF APPLES up here. (I may have overdone it, just a smidge.) I'm so glad you had the day off today...it was another gorgeous one, right?? And I agree w/you re: that face...it's sooo cute! xoxo

AshleyS: Trust me, if they publish it, I shall mention it. I was blown away by the sophistication of these 17-year-olds...they have a wonderful sense of humor. I'm coming over to visit now!

Cynica Sarcastamos: Well, you got it...it's the short, fuzzy, hornless, spotless, blond giraffe with bangs...only it had a perm last week and it was extremely self-conscious about its hair. We had a heated discussion about the merits of chemically induced frizz...especially on such a lovely hair-day! You've got the S-stuff? (I won't say it...you can't make me!)

2009-11-09T17:17:44.370-05:00
Gavin: You've changed your screen name! I'm with you, buddy...I'd love a mild winter. I do believe the Farmer's Almanac calls for a heavy, snowy winter, but someone here told me that the wooly caterpillar says otherwise. I think I choose to believe the wooly-guy.

book*addict: YES! They're alpacas!! WOOHOO! You win the...the...coupon for a free car wash at my local oil change place!

Lou: Oh, you've completely gotten the wrong idea about me, Lou! Yes, I can follow a recipe...with about a 15% success rate, depending on how many times I've already attempted it. The pie? Yeah, me and Betty Crocker. It only took me about 6 years to get it right. Cooking? No. Can. Do. Seriously!

Alicia: I'm north of Manhattan now...and there's these crazy people next door that raise Alpacas. It's bizarre-o. But they always look like they're smiling, so how can you not like 'em??

clandestiny: HA! CORRECT, my friend! (Wow...you sure to know an awful lot about alpacas, sweetie!I'll bet they're better behaved than that Hamster from Hell!!) Where does one go to buy an alpaca-something? I'd no idea they were expensive, but assumed they MUST be, since I've never seen an alpaca-anything. 'Cept for the real deal, of course.

Fierce: Yes, it's called "Apple Overload"...and I do not recommend it. Your family and friends stop talking to you 'cause you're forcing apples down their throats...

Gillian: Very, very close, sweetie! (I'd never have known what they were, but there's this big SIGN.)

Runnergirl: Oh, that's funny! Oooh...I didn't think to do apple crumble! I like to eat raw apples with cheddar cheese. I wonder if that's weird?

smileyfreak: HA! After being fed a million apples....HA! Yeah, he got all poofed-up from all those apples! UGH. I can't LOOK at another apple!

Lauren: Um. Yes (hangs head in shame)...yes, I did. I compared him to an Alpaca. But, in my defense, I think they're cuddly and look like they're smiling...and they really don't smell TOO bad. Well, your mom didn't like, NAME you Yoda (middle name?)...right? I'll bet you were cute!

ValleyWriter: YES! I made the applesauce! It is completely GONE...and was wonderful!! Now the paper I printed out is all full of applesauce stains (the sign of a good recipe, right?). And YES...it's an alpaca! You are SO SMART.

brite: Oh, you guys are TOO MUCH! I didn't think ANYONE would get the alpaca! Yes, I do love apples, but I do believe we're DONE. Leave it to me to subject da boys to Apple Hell. I'd better start freezing some of it!

BlackLOG: Why was I not aware of this spitting-thing? Is it possible that llama's spit and Alpacas don't? Or were they just polite enough to not spit around ME?

JD at I Do Things: Well, now I hate apples too. I totally overdid it...would could have imagined that?? Appletini, anyone??

lifelove'n'wine: Yeah, Taylor's a good boy. And yes, I think alpacas are small llamas...which evidently can SPIT. Did you see how close I got to it??

Allegria: I know! They ARE very sweet! Yes, CK does NOT know from teenagers, but he's feeling like I'm not really listening to him. As an IV, I really SHUD be listening to him...
Oh, yay! I'm on my way to your place. I'm excited to see the "mild weeds"...HA!

the animal is ethere a lama or a sheep. but i guess you really had a but load of apples

Wow Kathryn, lovely weather YOU'RE having. Me?...

2009-11-09T13:51:02.328-05:00
Wow Kathryn, lovely weather YOU'RE having. Me? I've just decided to cross on over and embrace the 3 inches of snow we received yesterday. FYI - Embracing snow is a messy and cold proposition so ya may as well go ahead and build something, right? (I built a guillotine for all my ALASKAN buddies who bitch about snow. He-llllo!)

As for your little friend, it could be my neighbor, Shirley.

Is it a baby elephant seal in a wig? I suppose it may be a llama lying down, a legless llama or a llama with a very tall person behind it. Maybe it's a short, fuzzy, hornless, spotless, blond giraffe with bangs.

Rockin' post as usual! ... and are those apple dumplings I smell?

I want some apple spice cake! YUM!!

LoL* Too funny a conversation. I don't eat that many apple things ever. But YUM!! See what you've done to me?!? Apple frittersssss...

(And yes, my poem was cut off :( - thanks for the point out. I put the last line back up. I dun know what happened?!? hehe*)

And they SHOULD put it on youtube. I wanna see! :)

2009-11-09T12:05:34.098-05:00
Bellissima!

I agree...yesterday was FLAWLESS! Of course, I worked, but still enjoyed the day. Perfect temps and not a cloud in the sky.

And listen...I SO wish I was at your house yesterday because I freakin' LOVE anything APPLE. I just bought a combination pumpkin/apple butter spread that I enjoy on toasted English muffins - YUUUUUMY!

Yes, I'm guessing it's a llama??? What an adorable face!!!!

Have a great Monday, my friend. It looks like it's going to be another BEAUT! I have the day off, so I'll be spending sometime outside enjoying it.

Great post!!

P.S. If you have any leftover apple desserts, could you please email me some? HA!

No bugs??? Wtf? How is that fair? We had warm weather but with warm weather this late in the year we have chinese beetle demon spawn from hell invasions. I had like 500 of those things in my house this weekend. They bite and smell and now my floor is littered with their tiny orange and black carcasses. Eeeewwww.

Taylor rocks, the apple things looked awesome, and I'm guessing llama?

Much better.

2009-11-09T10:11:06.843-05:00
Pretty sure it's an alpaca. Friends of ours have a llama ranch, with a few alpacas thrown in the mix--and his curly little mop definitely looks alpaca-ish, as does his height. They're so sweet...

Seems like CK needs to be put in his place. Tell him that when HE'S helping teenagers with a project, THEN he can criticize!

Put up those mild weed photos for you on Saturday. :o) OK--not JUST for you, but they're there. Hope you had a lovely weekend!

2009-11-09T08:48:08.655-05:00
Please tell me you didn't put the llama in the dish you cooked for Taylor.. I know llama pie might sound cool but they spit a lot and that would be like Taylor kissing one of them...Yes, yes Bella the llama did look cute and all that, well before you hacked her to bits that is. I’m guessing it's still illegal for teenagers and llamas to snog, even In New York….

2009-11-09T08:41:45.090-05:00
Don't you just love apple season? What to do with all freakin apples?
And that's an alpaca.A much sweeter natured animal than a llama, and ha softer fleece too.

2009-11-09T08:37:17.075-05:00
YAY! You made applesauce and a bunch of other wonderful-looking goodies! I'm so proud ;-)

As for the animal - I'm guessing alpaca. It doesn't look big enough to be a llama. Whatever the little critter is, it's cute!

2009-11-09T07:36:23.357-05:00
Uh... did you just compare your son to a llama? For your sake I hope the spitting is a lie. (I don't think it is though.) My mom used to compare me to Yoda... apparently my ears stuck out and I didn't have much hair. But at least I get to wield a light saber and be all cool and mystical. It's a bit of a consolation.

Is it a very very furry doggie?? After being fed a million apples?? Possibly?? Maybe??

It's not?????
