#birds From a couple of years ago, this little chickadee is getting off all the last little bits from one of the birdhouses coated with seed. He then made a nest in the box.

#birds One of my favorite bird names: a yellow-rumped warbler. Have a giggle, then go back to the serious stuff.

A white squirrel would be a nifty sighting too! But I hope you get another chance at the bluebird.

Ah, that's a farmer! The little piece with the bunnies has a very small stethoscope, as she wanted to be a vet at one time also.

#blueskyartshow #Relax One way I relax is to stitch an autobiographical quilt. Here is one square showing the various things my youngest daughter wanted to be when she grew up. Made up of patches from her old baby and toddler clothes.

Not fond of the bird feeder cameras as you only get one angle and it is a bit distorted. They are good for identifying what birds you do have coming to the feeders though.
