odds 'n sods ....

It finally rained albeit not much - the moisture was desperately needed!  The dandelions finally bloomed providing a feast for the bees - people were immediately killing off the dandelions.

This was an interesting cloud seen at the cabin ...

A yellow headed blackbird joined the red wings for a sunflower seed feast ...

This is a favourite gathering place for the pelicans -  on the way to the cabin where a bridge crosses the Mossey River and the pelicans gather on both sides and quite a distance up the river - the photo was taken before the rain - it's a little greener now -  we always stop to watch them ...

I  enjoyed  this book ...

and this one was quite entertaining ... 

And here's cottage cat ...

i took a walk in the woods

and came out taller than the trees

me mudder...

"who sit me on the ice cold pot and me me pee whether I could or not - me mudder"  Do you remember these little me mudder ditties - I can only recall this particular one - we used to rattle them off when I was a kid, a very long time ago.   Anyway, we've been at the cabin where it's still quite cool and have been using the outhouse temporarily - every time I sat on the cold seat in the early morning this little ditty would come to mind and with it came fond memories of my and friends and our activities.  ^^

I made this for a friend for Mother's Day.  She lost her only child a few years ago and just recently lost her husband - I wanted to be sure she received something for Mother's Day.  Her favourite colour is blue and I'm hoping she likes lavender since that's what I filled the sachet with.  ^^  I backed it with a piece of toile in the same colours  - this is a design by Happiness is Cross Stitching - the wee rose will be the package tie-on instead of a bow - she's a classy lady so a parasol seemed appropriate.
