{ speaking of feathered friends...}

the swelling on my hand has gone down,

now it is just a loverly shade of blackened-crimson with hints of eggplant.

hence the lack of photos of it today for it is a bit gruesome...

 

but,

it still works, so there's another blessing for ya!

 

working away on the OWL O' ween design ~

here is the progress thusfar:

 

finally...a face!

working on his tophat

love his little green bibs!

 and as you know,

I'm nuts about birds and keep my binoculars at-the-ready for backyard visitors.

 

...this beautiful little boy and his wife graced the broom corn

growing by the window this morning...

and I had to capture him for you.

 

 

male Indigo Bunting

handsome little man

have you ever seen one yourself?

 

...between these and the Goldfinch, our backyard is full of color & commotion...

the Goldfinch are quick though, so I couldn't capture any ~

The heat has broken here a bit in VA...

but, we are expecting heavy thunderstorms this week.

 

Humidity is still here though ~

...how I would love to fly open the windows and breathe in some cool clean air!

 

~AND~

 

I've received a couple of email from members of the LSHC regarding their kits ~

and you should all have received yours by the end of this week.

:)

 

Have a beautiful day my Friends & Blessed be!
