Oh my!

Where did the day go? I managed to finish the quilt today. Here is a sneak peak. Its in the dryer, but hopefully it has survived its washing. (Fingers crossed!) Its hard to tell but I outlined all the boxes and then stitched into the seams within the squares. It shows really well on the back. If all goes well tonight in the dryer I should be able to show it to you tomorrow!

We have a cardinal and his mate that are DETERMINED to get into the house via an upper window in the great room. They bang into the window throughout the day over and over and over. They've been doing it for MONTHS. I finally managed to get a shot of him today.

I have some video of his mate as well, but those are not terribly exciting. Its a lot of staring at the time go by and then a short viewing of a bird and more staring. Speaking of staring, what do you suppose Penny was doing while that cardinal was on the fence? (Notice the tail movement?) She was about ready to pounce. Which means standing on her back legs, plastering her belly to the glass, and moving her arms around really fast. Its not terribly effective but more fun then doing nothing.
