We have been enjoying lots of finches, (blue) buntings that I thought were Eastern Bluebirds, Indigo Buntings and that brown/black one on the barn feeder is a Rose Breasted Grosbeak.
No owl these days - we think the little ones might be hatched, and parents are sitting on them, based on dates of several years ago. Several years ago, I had photos of the new owlets perched on my deck on June 24.
My much loved car (Avenger) is getting traded in. It is almost 20 years old, I am tearful and sad with my decision, but it is low and I have to FALL into it, and CLIMB out - very hard on knees, and both actions require a lot of UUMPHF and groans. 8-)) It's been a wonderful, reliable car. There is little room in back seat for my quilting girlfriends, but someone else is going to have a nice little red car with lots of zoom!
Split 9-Patch -- this is all the rows put together - looks a little washed out! It's about 52 by 60 in. I will add some borders and bring it up to about 60 x 70 in..
You are the third person to mention seeing a rose-breasted grosbeak in a week! I haven't seen one, but we did have indigo buntings and a scarlet tanager.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on finding a new car and getting acquainted with it!
Your split 9-patch is coming along nicely.
I was this close (visual is finger and thumb a nanometer apart) from using that same setting for my HST crumb blocks. Brilliant minds and all that. Your top looks great. I like both of the borders. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteI had the same issues with my 20 yr. old Buick and traded it in for a Chevy Equinox. That was three years ago and I haven't regretted it at all. So nice to be able to get in & out without a struggle.
ReplyDeleteI really like your Split 9-patch....another one for the "someday" list.
