Honey Buns

On Saturday, Adam and I went to Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival, which was awesome but HOT.  We're used to Rhinebeck, which happens in October and usually on the coldest weekend so everyone huddles into the fair ground buildings, happily insulated with wool, and it's OK to breathe down someone else's neck while digging through piles of roving.  In Maryland, not so much.  It was into the 90's on Saturday without a cloud in the sky. 

There were some fantastic vendors and I picked up some fantastic roving and petted a lot of beautiful wool.  However, the best wool purchase of the day was a little...wiggly.  And came home in a cat carrier.

This is Nimbus:

and this is Storm:

They are French angoras and they are nine-week old sisters. 

Storm is a blue:

And Nimbus is a broken sable:

They are getting settled into their new home, the rabbit hutch saved from when Adam and his sister were kids with pet rabbits, repainted a classy shade of barn red and with two spacious new bedroom additions.  These bunnies live in style.  Nimbus is very friendly and likes to check everything out, while Storm is a lot more cautious and a bit flighty.  They are so super soft, it's indescribable.  Like petting fluffy clouds.  They also really enjoy each other's company and will usually share a box, sleeping on top of each other.  Nimbus also likes to groom Storm if it appears that her sister hasn't been very thorough behind the ears.  Very sweet girls.  We're so excited to have them at the farm.
