A Cohousing Community Moment

This from one of our members...

I just gotta share this "community moment" with you all. . .

Yesterday, when we came back from Bayfield, we noticed that llamas were still stuck up at the top of their pasture, even though Barry had just put out hay in their corral. They were obviously agitated and upset, but seemed unable to get down to the corral though the snow.

So Jack climbed into the corral, and then proceeded to "drag" a path with his legs (snow up to his waist) all the way up to the top of the pasture where the llamas were stuck.

It took him more than 20 minutes- pretty grueling work-out. Then when he got to the llamas and encouraged them down the path he had made, they still wouldn't move. So he then turned and walked them all the way down to the corral.

I realized belatedly what a wonderful picture this would have made- Jack with 5 llamas following on his heel- and didn't get back with the camera in time. So I am sending you all this mental picture of what it means to care. . .
