Spinning Gifta

Gifta is a gorgeous chocolate agouti French Angora doe.

Gifta has been in shows since June 2017 and won the French Angora Rabbit of The Year in 2019.   This is her in the Big Valley RA show in February 2020, she won BOB then ....

... went on to win the Best In Show. 

Since there has not been any show between March and July 2020 due to the shutdown, Gifta was cut down in March then again in July.   This is the yarn made from her July haircut.

A beautiful skein of 124 yards of Gifta yarn.

Broken English Angora Team

Though the ARBA convention has been cancelled due to COVID-19, the broken English Angora presentation team is still hard at work.    Left to right are COD holder Nichole Wilson, team members Debbie McCormick and Lynn Galbraith-Wilson.

Lynn and Nichole drove all the way from Wisconsin to NC to visit Debbie and discuss the broken English Angora progress. Nichole at the camera.

Every Bunny Loves Broccoli

We have a patch of broccoli.   The plants don't grow the big crowns like those sold in the market, instead, the leaves are big and nice.

We don't see pictures of Graceann eating treats often, she is a bit picky.

Graceann picks on other treats, but broccoli leaves are hard to resist.

Billy like most treats including broccoli leaves.

Yum yum.

Monique is a little shy, she won't eat unless the door is closed.

Aabel eats all sorts of treats, ...

... broccoli leaves are no exception.

Susanna likes to drag her treats to the corner before eating.

A bit shy, but Susanna enjoys her broccoli leaves a lot.

The 2019 Edition of the Guinness World Records

Stephanie sent me a photo of the page that contain a picture of me and Franchesca.  That looks like one of the photos shot by the professional photographer that the Guinness World Record sent to my home.    It is a different photo from the 2015 Guinness Book that I was given.   

The page is in the 2019 edition of Guinness World Record book,  I don't get the new copies anymore.   Stephanie said her grandkids was reading the book and discovered the page.  Thank you Stephanie for sending it.
