~ Midweek Musings ~

Hello Friends & Folk ~
Happy Wednesday to you all!

did any of you get a small glimpse of sunshine today?
{at least that's what I think it is, a big ball of light in the sky?}
yep, actual sunshine right now. as I type.
*aaaahhhh*
 oh wait...yep, it's gone again.

How do you like my 'welcome' flag?
{hahaha}


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
here is progress on a new design I'm stitching...
I have named it, ~ but I won't tell you what it is until I'm finished ~
 

don't you love the thread colors?
they are all Weeks Dye Works threads, as well the linen.
linen is 32ct Tin Roof ~
threads used thusfar are Kohl, Bullfrog, Havana &  Pelican Gray.
(2 strands of floss over 2 threads of linen}


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
OH! see the look on Pepper's face?
she has been naughty, but she learned a valuable lesson
...chasing a mother deer will get your furry-butt in a heap of trouble!
Peter watched as Pepper ran up the driveway after a doe, 
which then spun around on her sharp hooves and went after Pepper!!!
yeah. never underestimate a mother protecting her child.
duh.

'I wuz skeered mom...she almost got my hiney'.
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

the gardens are lush, due to the rains, 
but also everything is rotted after blooming.
that is so sad. 






Well enjoy your day,
whatever your weather!
make your own sunshine...then share it with others.

~ Saturday Morning ~

Good Morning Friends & Folk!
another Saturday is upon us ~

if you're in the neighborhood, 
come on out to the farm shop for a visit...
bring your needlework in progress and create with me today!
 ~ we'll be OPEN from 10:00 - 4:00
 

Peter told me to look out the bedroom window early this morning...
usually when he tells me something like that, I grab my camera ~

I wasn't disappointed!
a young mother and her baby-buck were in the back of the farmhouse,
licking the salt deposits from our water softener :)
{ no worries, we have checked to make sure the deposits are SAFE for them }


here is the little buck with his newly-sprouted antler-bulbs!
 

and this is pretty & proud momma....
 

she's standing gaurd while he licks...
~ I love their soft eyes and long tails.
 



Hoping to see them often
 and watch Little Buck's progress into a big boy!!!

~ May Day ~


~ HAPPY MAY DAY!!!!! ~
~ Friends & Folk ~

I LOVE when my 'friends' come to visit with us here on the farm ~
look who showed up just yesterday alone:

a beautiful Scarlet Tanager-boy!



I just love to see him with his red jacket & black sleeves & tail ~
 all he needs is a dapper little top hat & walking stick!


and
a Lunar Moth ~
a strange but oh so beautiful creature that comes to our lamp posts occasionally...







he is perfect in every way 
and gently climbed onto my hand for a long while ~




 oh! hello!
{sweet face}







I tucked him down onto our iris' to rest, 
and when I came back to check on him he had flown off on a new adventure… 




 even the deer came for a visit around suppertime…
here they are {5 of them} outside our keeping room window ~







 and 
even Mizz Nancy came out for a visit!
hearer she is test-driving our new Floor Frame
{Peter's grin says it all}




Nancy gives our Standing Floor Frame a Thumbs Up ~ with hook in hand!
Thanks Nancy!
{yours will be ready soon Nancy-girl, along with your hook and cutter board}




and here are my offerings for May's
Early Work Mercantile

two naive samplers for you!




Hoping your Sunday is a peaceful & creative one,
~ filled with all kinds of Friends!
