Hum (a ruby throated hummingbird) arrived on schedule - May 15th!! And at 10:15 a.m. - we were just heading out to the car to come home to the apt. when he showed up - so pleased that he let us know he'd arrived safe and sound - these little creatures are amazing!
Not much going on in the handwork department these days but this is a rug I started last fall and I usually work on it each evening - it's my current cabin project - I'd forgotten about this over the winter so it was a pleasant surprise. The large ball of rag yarn is black although it looks purple in the photo.
This past week I kept busy at the cabin with the annual spring cleaning - it's amazing how much dust accumulates over the winter - and I discovered that I didn't clean the oven last fall. My time outdoors was spent getting the gardens ready for planting.
This is Nigel the squirrel's offspring being mischievous - it's the first time we've seen a squirrel in this feeder - soon he'll be too big to squeeze in - the red wing blackbird is patiently awaiting his turn.
This was dinner one evening when we had a visitor - you'll find the recipe
here - the steam is still rising from it - the fellas loved it!
I love this gnarly looking bread - it's so good toasted!
always help someone - you might be the only one who does
