We had snow today. This is from when it was first beginning. We spotted our local red-tailed hawk in a fir tree outside my office window, right in the middle of this photo. He stayed there grooming for a long time. The second is a zoom photo. I’ve seen him up close before – he…

A pair of doves raises a family close by every year. I wonder what birds do when the temps change so drastically within 24 hours. It must be hard to adjust. Theo always looks traumatized whether he is or not. But in this photo, he really is. Pablo is the top bully in the house,…

I worked in the Back Forty putting down cardboard in anticipation of the load of mulch Sandy plans to get from the landfill, and pulled up some vines and weeds. But did I take photos? No. So, here’s another woven cloth square. I really like this one. Theo likes the fancy pillows.

I would not like to live somewhere without a winter because I love seeing the bones of trees against the sky. I took a bit of a break – sinus problems a little worse than normal, also a sore neck. Theo helped by pressing the fabric I stitched the day before. I used a neti…
