Stuff
The other day I was on the deck brushing one of the dogs and saw a Rose Breasted Grosbeak at the sunflower feeder. What a beautiful bird!! I have seen one before but they must just pass through on their migration as they only stop for a snack. Still no Bluebirds this year, they must have all stayed at Gwynette’s house, but the Hummers and the Orioles are hitting the feeders hard.
The roofers were here for a day and a half. They really have it down! Strip off the old and put on the new, clean up and be gone. If it hadn’t rained I think they might have finished it in a day – of course there were a bunch of them. Glad it’s done, now I can choose a color to paint the house.
Reading the QA list this morning I realized that the deadline for IQA entries is next week! Somehow that didn’t get on my To Do list. So I took care of it this morning. I have not done any sewing since finishing the Bluebird quilt and all of the quilty stuff is on the back burner right now. I will not start anything new until I return from my trip with Del to the SAQA Convention next week and the opening of Quilt National.
I decided since my last horse died last fall and I have no plans to get any more that I should try to get rid of the tack. So I have been cleaning tack. Boring!!

All of our bluebird houses are are full with the second go round of housekeeping chores and raising little ones. I missed seeing Rose Breasted Grosbeaks at our feeders this year – they usually do a fly by as they head North – but, a few Orioles have hit the orange halves pretty hard on their way through. I gave Nita my feeder last year as the orioles nest at her house around Clay Center.
Saw Jane Doe with one of her fawns for the first time yesterday. Pretty sure she has twins, but she won’t show them together until they are older.
Really tired of the rain, but afraid complaining will drive it away for the summer. I have to many perennials to hand water if it stops raining!!
So looking forward to the June guild meeting and you being here. I’ve signed up for both days of your workshop and I expect to be a ‘real’ quilt artist after that…. LOL!!! Gwynette
