New bunnies for Sydney and Klaus! 5 wee ones were born yesterday morning. This was Sydney last Fall, not at all happy to have her picture snapped, but it gives you an idea what a great chocolate color she is. I love the color yarn her fiber makes. Her bunnies are just 1 day old, and colors are not clear yet, but it looks like there are 2 chocolates in her nest. I'll know better on Monday when I will take a good look.

Summer feels like it is here, and I have been spending more and more time sitting outside on my deck. Last night I dragged my wheel outside and spun through 4 ounces of angora. That felt SO good, I plan to make it a nightly event.

Cathy sent me a note to see if all is well. All is well! I have not been posting due to some complicated geriatric family situations. Sometimes there isn't time to do it all. 

When I sheared Sydney in December I promised some chocolate pictures of her for the new UARC website, and I took them but haven't sent them to Angie yet.

The sun was too bright for a good picture, but I only had 15 minutes to spend, and so this is what I got. I then tried to get her less-than-brown eye:

So how about an old picture?

 She is sheared to the skin now, so we'll try again in April for a better picture. 

This warm weather has been a blessing and a curse for the rabbits. They are all hot-to-trot and I have been hard pressed to keep everyone calm, BUT, their water does not freeze, and so they are in really, really good condition this January for a change.

 I have been continuing a massive angora spinning project. I hope to get all my extra angora spun by the summer and on the shelves at Countrywool.

This wee fellow's heritage just charmed Matthew, who may be allergic to bunnies, but he is willing to find out after he adopts the little guy. And as he so cheerfully pointed out, "What are allergy drugs for, anyway, if you can't use them to enjoy bunnies?" What indeed.

Hoppy was born to Gretel and Darth in December and will be 4 weeks old this week. Mostly German angora, he is the most curious one in the litter, and Matthew has been a regular visitor at the Bunny Barns getting to know him. Hoppy will be the subject of much picture taking, as even when he moves out, he is only moving a few miles away.

We suspect he has grey eyes, which would make him a self chin chocolate color, but with all the cloudy weather, it is tough to get a sunny (warm) day to make a careful inspection. Whatever color his eyes are, his life will be wonderful as Matthew's new best buddy. Stay tuned for frequent Hoppy updates.
