Nora the Yak

Nora loves glazed donuts, fireflies, and evening walks.  She lives with a donkey, chickens, and many many sheep.  The rams and ewes love fresh hay and make 1-2 pounds of fiber for the fiber arts.  They look much rounder than they actually are (their wool grows out).  I am inspired to learn to spin and knit from their wool.  The Alpaca live just behind the sheep.  They are a different breed, providing beautiful fiber as well.  Pennsylvania farms remind me of childhood memories in Virginia and Colorado.  The first time I ever saw fireflies were in the monuments in Washington DC.  Coming from Albuquerque, New Mexico I was surprised to see so many green trees touching.  I spent a decade on the east coast (Davidson, North Carolina and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania).  I visited Amish country, Lancaster, State College, and the Shenandoah Valley.  When I graduated from college, I visited every civil war battlefield and Andersonville Prison (where my great great grandfather died). There is so much rich history on the east coast.  I love every minute and learning new things.
