Rita's ranch
Our neighbor, Rita, lives atop a hill near the KR Comm Hall. She emailed me this AM to tell me,
Gem, her pregnant angora goat
gave
birth to two babies yesterday. She named them Sapphire and Ruby.
Aren't they just adorable? Curly, cuddly and pink. So, I learned today, that these are angora goats, which provide mohair.
Angora fur comes from rabbits. So we got that cleared up.
Rounding out her managerie:
cattle
more goats
chickens,
some of which are Polish. That's the breed. Pretty funny, huh? One of my friends says her mom calls these Phyllis Dillers. Perfect nickname, I'd say.
And the dogs.
And last, a familiar member of every family.......
Thank you Rita for the wonderful morning meeting the troops
