Lake picnic

 We picked the perfect day for a spring picnic on the lake.  The rains stopped for a bit, sun came out, and it was perfect temp to sit on the bench and enjoy the water.  Here is some of the wildlife that shared the day with us.

Hall of Fame weekend

Since it was the first Frosty specialty held in Ohio, we made them special.  These are the prizes for Show B.  Show A prizes were etched glass tumblers, and small thermos with CF decals on them.  

 We had 25 Frosties entered, so the classes were full.  In Show B, one of my "D" litter does was BOS.  Somerhill Dream was shown by her owner, Darby.  She won 2 legs during the weekend.

I also had BOS in one of the open shows on Sunday.  Rose Arbor Ellen won her 3rd leg as as SR, finishing her championship just 10 days after she turned 6 months.

We held an angora specialty on Saturday as well.  I did not show, but was the secretary, so did all the paperwork.  2 Somerhill junior bucks were shown.  One was BOSV in white classes, and the other was BOSV in colors, and was selected BOS, too.   Somerhill Skyfall & Red Sky at Knight did well in their first shows!

An Even Dozen

 I used a new buck this time, BC's Viktor.  Carly kindled 4 on April 5, and Delta had 8 on the 6th.  

 

Rose Arbor Ellen

This is Ellen, sister to Ethne, who I posted earlier this month.  Ellen has 2 JR BOS legs in stiff competition.  She will show as a SR for the first time in a couple weeks at the Hall of Fame. 

 Fingers crossed.

16 days old

Somerhill Arlo x Rose Arbor Bre kits are 16 days old and heavy as bricks.  

See that slender piece of straw in the foreground of the pic?  I only got one chance at a photo because when I reached in to gently remove it from the pic, all h*ll broke loose.  Bunny screamed, and then all of them leaped in all directions, including out the open cage door.  Thankfully, I am prepared for such nonsense, and caught the little darling as it flew toward my head.    WHEW

 

Washington PA show results

 I decided to return to the Washington PA show after a few year's hiatus.    We had 15 Frosties entered.  For Show A,  Diana Keisel had BOS with her JR doe, and Lorry Jankowski had BOB with her SR buck. Judged by Nita Butler.   In show B, Linda Berkebile had BOB with her SR doe, and Lorry's SR buck was BOS.
