Fiber Anyone?

Less than a week ago I received an e-mail from Janice telling me she had stumbled on my blog.  She asked where I lived and as it turns we live just a short distance from each other.  We met for lunch and discovered that we had a lot in common so today we got together at her home for a "craft and chat" day.

Note:  I should have mentioned originally when I wrote this post that yes, Janice knits and spins.

Janice raises French angora rabbits.  They are gorgeous animals.  Once upon a time, I used to have rabbits so I really was thrilled to see them.  Look at all that fiber on that animal!!!

Janice prepared a fantastic lunch accompanied by her husband's homemade bread.  I think I was "spoiled" today.

Once upon a time, I also had a canary.  Janice's canary is the most beautiful singer.  Oh, it's been so many years since I have enjoyed being seranaded by a canary.  Mine always sang when I was on the phone making the person on the other end very envious.

Not a good picture as there is a screen between myself and this feeder.  Many, many chickadees were parading back and forth until I appeared in the window...dah!!!  Black-capped chickadees are my home state of Maine's state bird.

An orchid on the windowsill.  So beautiful!!

This mama will soon have babies.  She was busy preparing a nest with hay while I was there.  However, she will soon be pulling her hair out to use in her nest.

Another mama recently had babies.

And then there were the chickens!!!!

Happy Knitting!
