What's in the fur?

And that's all of the yarn stash airing! I still need to do the other fiber that waits to be spun, and the fabric, but one step at a time.

Thinking on names for this girl. She's called Teen Mom right now, but if she raises this second (intentional) litter as well as she did the first, she'll be staying a while, and should get a more respectful name.

All my does have flower names, one way or another, but naming rabbits is low stakes so it's not too strict.

J suggested Wildflower, and idk that I like that as a name, but perhaps a wild flower? Something that plants itself? Thought about the song Wildwood Flower; that name is too long, but it contains Myrtle, Rose, and sometimes Hyssop and Amanita (not a flower, but a fun possibility).

Dandelion? Violet? It fits, but I've got a niece named Violet, so if I go that way I'll have to name an animal after all the younglings. Anemone? Deadnettle & Henbit sound mean. Honeysuckle/Honey? I like that one, with her color. I haven't done a Clover, or a Buttercup.

Then one day you move it in a pine-needle-y area, and one rabbit immediately starts gathering all the pine needles up, just shoving them in her mouth 😳
