27 More Days Until Shearing Day!


. . . not that long ago, the compost heap lived here under this fir tree. Thanks to the amazing work of David + Megan this past weekend, the compost heap has been rehomed + repurposed to the beds around the ranch house. All that remains is for me to take these branches to the chipper at Lazy J’s. Which I will happily do, once the 35MPH winds die down. It’s been so windy here that I half expect to open up the door to find everything in Technicolor and a yellow brick road outside.

Not their official name, but it’s what I like to call ‘em.

Hi.
I'm Myla Kent, the Owner and Chief Alpaca Human here at Iolanthe. I live in beautiful Sequim, Washington, a tiny town (pop. 6,500) nicknamed the Lavender capital of North America up on the Olympic Peninsula with my chihuahuas: Bear and Daisy, and alpacas: Faith, Summer, Harmony, Mischief, Ms. Precious, Sunny and our two newest: Willoughby + Bingley.
My writing and photography has been featured in print and online in the likes of National Geographic Online.com, Seattle Magazine, JPG Magazine, and several other outlets. My day job is as a patent paralegal for this wonderful man, who is letting me telecommute so I can follow my dream of starting a day camp for kids with cancer. I am keeping this blog to document life here on the ranch.
