Mike together with I were standing at the window this morn when the squirrel kits made an appearance. One past times one, they came out of their niggling hidey hole. When all was said together with done, nosotros counted vii for sure, together with perhaps 1 more. I couldn't teach them all inwards 1 frame, but I documented their assault.
These 2 await equally if they're discussing their adjacent mission to receive got downward the snapdragons growing nearby.
These 2 clearly receive got their eyes on the poppies.
These 2 are the girly squirrels, hanging out amongst their mom.
This 1 is already on a mission to capture the wily strawberry. Hey, Buddy! You forgot that ripe 1 inwards the foreground!
These 2 are tussling. I imagine they're preparation for whatever hand-to-hand fighting that mightiness last necessary.
And here's the saddest matter you'll always desire to see. Possibly I should purpose 1 of those filters that blocks graphic content. Smitty cannot tolerate the hellscape that has teach his life. Squirrels are running roughshod, together with he finds himself impotent to produce anything to purrtect his propurrty. It's a crying shame, together with he yowls loudly inwards purrtest.
Meanwhile, the coyotes are howling together with yipping. One starts upward amongst a solely long howl, similar y'all mightiness take away heed inwards a horror flick. Then nigh one-half a dozen others chime inwards amongst their yipping together with yapping. Sometimes they audio real close. At other times, they are further away, but they are clearly acquaint most of the time. I tin post away only promise that Smitty together with Sadie empathize that the coyotes are the argue we've clipped their wings. I'm non certain who is grieving more...them or me. Yesterday I yanked out a handful of grass together with brought it within for Smitty, who loves a practiced salad every straight off together with then. I'll piece of work on doing it because he loves to nibble the grass together with the fresh catnip.
H5N1 few of y'all receive got asked me nigh the catio, together with yes, they tin post away teach out on the catio whatever fourth dimension they desire to. For now, they're staying within to torture me amongst their incessant protesting of the alter inwards the weather condition of their employment. They insist they absolutely cannot maintain their perfect tape of keeping the belongings cleared of niggling furry mammals if they are non allowed to roam freely. Certainly, I receive got no answer for that. I hang my caput inwards shame.
Back inside, it was fourth dimension yesterday to decant the chive bloom vinegar. Pretty, huh? You mightiness call upward that I started this 2 weeks agone together with explained how it's done. You tin post away purpose fancier vinegars, but I simply purpose patently white vinegar. After 2 weeks, it's turned a pretty pinkish-purple, together with it smells beautifully of chives. It tin post away last used similar crimson vino vinegar. It's specially practiced inwards vinaigrette.
For my sewing yesterday, I set together the 2 Charm Stars for this month's Rainbow Scrap Challenge. When I left off on Monday, I had all the squares cutting together with a trouble drawn from corner to corner therefore that I could plow them into one-half foursquare triangles. When I had them sewn together with trimmed to size, it set them out. It's a flake of a puzzle putting them together together with getting all the coloring values properly placed.
Then I sewed them together. First one...
therefore the other.
Then I set them out amongst their blood brother together with sis blocks from previous months. I dear how this is looking. There are however 8 blocks to brand for the consummate quilt, together with therefore I'll add together borders. When it's finished, I'm hoping it volition last large plenty for the bed inwards the 5th wheel.
They receive got a long fourth dimension to sew together together, together with I was variety of tired of sewing past times the fourth dimension I had them finished. Besides, I needed to dear on the kitties together with nation them how sorry I am.
I receive got 1 other Rainbow Scrap projection inwards 2019, but I think I'll hold off to produce the other 1 until adjacent week. For now, I receive got a yen to teach going on the Chicken Buffet quilt top. I spent approximately fourth dimension looking at it yesterday.
When I started this quilt, I was however cutting all the pieces earlier doing whatever sewing together with therefore all the sashing together with edge strips are cut. Also, each block has a dark flange surrounding it. There are too a span of randomly identify wonky stars inwards the sashings. There's quite a flake of sewing however to produce to complete this off, but having the cutting already done gives me a practiced caput start.
So that's where I'll pass most of the day. Our identify unit of measurement weekend get-together is approaching, together with I've been doing approximately thinking nigh that. There isn't actually anything else I tin post away produce earlier Friday, together with therefore the remainder of the calendar week volition last taken upward generally amongst sewing of approximately kind.
