  • Santa Bunny

    Santa Bunny visited our Guild's Holiday party today.. with presents. He arrived with a winter coat rated to -40 and left with a coated rated to 0 F. Very cute.
    Yummy fiber.

    If that wasn't enough fiber goodness, another member brought bags, big bags, of yak and cashmere, and handed out gallon sized bags for everyone to fill for themselves.

    There was food, and music and spinning and friends. Great party!

      Yes, it was a great Party!
      Thank you for this wonderful shot of Benny. (I made it my Christmas Ravatar:)
      Benny, ever the thoughtful hutch-mate, carried on in gift-giving mode by saving up his carrot for Stuey, and his strawberry for Sweet Pea which were much appreciated and quickly devoured.

    5. Sounds like a fun party!
      (gotta love a rabbit who dresses like Santa!)

    What a difference a day makes. Yesterday it could have been spring, impossibly warm and impossible to believe that winter and the holidays were only weeks away. This morning, when the winds stopped, the skies cleared, and the temps refused to climb out of the 30s, it started to sink in.

    The cats have known all along.

      The wintry arctic cold certainly did sink in yesterday! The wind in the morning was something else too. Cats are so wise.

    2. See! You should be listening to the cats. They always know.

    3. It amazes me all over again each winter when it gets cold: suddenly even the most aloof cat is your best buddy. Warmth is EVERYTHING!

    4. Finally starting to feel like December!
      When my kitty curls up next to the woodstove, it is always a sign that the barometer is falling 😉

    to the window.  What do I see?

    The past week hasn't afforded me much free time for myself.  I've managed only a couple very brief walks and have been happy to fit them into the increasingly shorter days.  The lunch time entertainment, however, has been terrific.  What began as two at a time last week has progressed to four.  These three managed their balancing act like they were born to it.  And so they were.

    ..endlessly amusing, this counting of tails.

      My son was commenting yesterday that we have the biggest, fattest, fluffiest greys he has ever seen. Wonder what that portends?

    3. Squirrel butts!!

    4. Looks like the word is out that you set the table for them!

      Wow! Usually, they’re not nearly that tolerant of each other.

      Squirrel asses! Too funny. They are certainly wearing their winter garb and fat well! Nice shots.
