It has happen. There is no return anymore.
The 1st Autumn Storm was here.
The 3rd Storm will bring the winter in.
If you want to escape; do it now. You still have time left but there is no return anymore. Only after 10 months it will be tolerable warm again... Escape; if you are not used to the cold...
...if you have not been prepared for the long winter time. (Here TheCat & Him are making HerbalTea for the Winter.)
At the end of August I sheared all the angora wool for the last time before the Winter. I cut it to be extremelty short (2mm). It needs to be short because of the skin which needs to get a bit air in to prevent skin problems. During the cold season I must leave several centimeters for their own warmth; that's why I cut it very short on warm season. (On these pics they have grew it already back a bit.)
Despite it is not more than +14C on the day time and +4C on the night time they enjoy their ShortSummerHairStyle. They don't use their WinterNest yet (except when it was roaring 1st Autumn Storm). On the chilly mornings I find them cooling down by the doorway where's only a net structure as a door. Yep, despite they have now the short wool. Angora wool is very warm and it seems to work perfect by the Arctic Circle.
My ContinentalGiant Sandy is a big girl already. No, she is not paralyzed, she is just doing her DailyStretchingExercises.
All the rabbits love the moment when I share a bit of MyGarden apples with them.
MyWinterProject is going on little by little. Now I have connected the sleeves to the trunk. And spun more yarn for it...
