Birds

Birds come in all colors 

Big and small. 

Single and pairs 

Can you tell I LOVE birds. 

Time Flies.

This summer we had a flock of 22 martins.

The air was filled with their squawking.

They circled around the bird house and the farm.

The last of the chicks hatched 3 weeks ago.

than poof they are gone.

Making their way back to South America.

This summer is flying by too.

Life moves faster and faster.

Yesterday we took time to honor a grand dame.

There was lots of laughter and good memories.

Mariam left her body to research.

Her soul she left to heaven.

She was one interesting woman.

She went back to collage and graduated at 70 years young

She taught for a year and was disillusioned

She said young people do not want to learn.

She was a piano teacher.

She got hard of hearing at the end and would

sit close to the speakers in church.

The pastor said he knew when it was time

to quit preaching Mariam would just get up and leave.

She did not like long sermons.

Farewell my friend.

Cool bath on a hot day.

What a hot day yesterday.

We sat down for lunch and looked out the window

 we saw several sparrows taking a bath in the Koi pond.

What a refreshing idea.

Started picking out fabrics for my next art quilt

and could not find anything I liked for the back.

Got out the dyes and made 4  new over dyes,

in greens and blues.

Perfect for a water scene.

Now to get started.

Yesterday I added 805 to the backs of 7 yards of fabric.

I am ready to go this morning.

Love making water and tree scenes.

Have a great day everyone.



Watch out here I come.

 Coming in for a landing.

What is going on here?

 Why is everyone hanging out?

A regular social gathering.

Think they are all quilters?

After all birds of a feather flocking together.

I think I will just watch for awhile.

Its nice and quiet here.
