Charming Chicks Meet

Well, last Sunday the Klamath Falls Charming Chicks had a meeting at one of our sis chicks house and it was so wonderful I have to tell you all about it.We met at Susans house and she has a llama farm, However she also has emus and pygora goats and angora rabbits as well as a large variety of chickens.  She turns all her animals hair into fiber and weaves it.  She also teaches classes on Fridays about spinning and fiber and needle felting.  It is so interesting.  She also dyes her own fiber.  She served a delicious lunch of fresh salad and fruits and cold cuts and  cheeses. We had champayne or wine or teas to drink.  Then the piece de risistance was her fudge.  It was so good and a variety of nuts ,she doesn't use sugar but sweetened condensed milk.  I want that recipe!  I always used the See's famous fudge and I like Susans' better.
The animals were all so cute and friendly.  The spun fiber is so very very soft. The rabbits to me were the softest.  What a great day we all had.

Billy Bird and Mom brush calves
grooming Cheech and Chong to keep them friendly has become a daily chore. The calves now are about 350 pounds and were starting to not want our company so now I brush them and have created a monster with Cheech. I have discovered he loves apples and carrots. Chong however wont even smell the goodies. Now Cheech stands in front of the front porch moowing at me for his treats. After I give him his treats it is hard to get back to the house and he is very determined to find more in my pockets.
