Today I'm thankful for music.

I found this favorite quote of many years

set to music.
(the lyrics are so related to today's chaotic world)

Aids

My quilting Mom

would have loved these.

I find them quite versatile

in many ways.

Yet another beautiful Critter

Today is . . .

a Golden Opportunity.

Awestruck . . .

by the beauty of God's creations.

Dragonflies are a sure sign of 

summer atMuldoon

Quite the acrobat

Living on every continent but Antarctica, these insects are instantly recognizable by their large bodies; four long, horizontal wings; and the way they hover and zip around. Dragonflies can reach speeds of up to 35 miles an hour and fly just as gracefully backward by lifting off vertically, helicopter style. Their compound eyes are so large they nearly touch, and each one has about 28,000 single eyes, or ommatidia.
Together with the closely related damselflies, they form the group Odonta

Pressing is necessary.

Especially when sewing with cotton.

Temps . . .

are rising . . .

and Hank Heron is drinking up a little shade

while he can.

This would normally be 'Fair Week' in our county
but cancelled for the first time since the civil war.

Spending More Time...

On the porch atMuldoon

It’s on the north side and stays cooler.

So had to invite a featheredfriend or two of course

Joining Saturday’s Critters

A hummingbird must . . .

consume approximately one half of its weight in sugar daily. 

The average hummingbird feeds 

five to eight times per hour. 

The hummingbirds atMuldoon

were right on target this evening.

After scattered showers all day

they had to catch up on calories

before nightfall.

This evening I timed one 

that ate for 30+ plus seconds.

Normally they take one or two

quick drinks at a time and off they go.

Thankful for sewing skills

I've been making items 

for this wonderful outreach in our area
(more about it closer to December)
Today I tried a new item; 

a cross-shoulder phone tote.

Sometimes . . .

deterrents are necessary.

This is an ant moat.

It's purpose is to stop ants from

reaching hummingbird feeders

or others that contain 'sweets'.

moat: typically filled with water 

and intended as a defense against attack.

I found the instruction on YouTube

and made it from the lid of a detergent bottle

Barbers and Beauty Shops are . . .

Looks like someone has been there.

And yes Momma I remember . . .

Does Anyone Else . . .

think in color?

When I think of the months of the year,

each one is of a particular color in my mind.

June appears as red.

Come bloom, bloom, blooming along.
