Haven't Been Able To Work All Morning...

-
I've got the feeling I'm being watched like a hawk.... I can't explain it... unless it's this guy! (Be sure and biggify it and check 0ut those talons! I took this with the company camera through a dirty window, but still...)
You know it's going to be a better day when you get to work and this is perched outside your window! He stayed for over an hour this morning before soaring off to hunt gold finches. Also had a vivid orange Baltimore Oriole out there and we never see those. How am I supposed to work under these conditions!?

Remember Gary Larson/The Far Side? He had one: Birds of prey know they're cool.

Ain't that the truth?

My husband sees a lot of interesting wildlife in the Research Park off Whitney Way. Whoda thunk?

Very cool! Surprised he(?) stayed around for so long....maybe he was digesting something he ate and felt bloated? :)

Just got a comment on my last blog entry reminding me that Monday is actually the last day of November, not today. So I have TWO more entries to complete NaBloPoMo; today and TOMORROW. How sad would that have been...to blow the whole thing because I can't read a calendar? I just figured, hey, December is coming next week, might's well start it out first thing on Monday! This here is a picture of my BubberKev and I at Thanksgiving. We're taking a momentary break from strangling each other to goof at the camera. Our mamma must be so proud! Back to online Christmas shopping! Have a great Sunday evening!

Lots of New Tangle Pattern Ideas!

I've been setting aside tangles that I've created in a special file in my cabinet. When I put one in last night, I realized that I had quite a stockpile and that I hadn't put only of them out there for others to try...so here they all are. I'm not good at stepouts or at naming. Most of them are named after placed in Maine...just because. I'd love to see any tangles that you've done that use any of these patterns! Have fun and tangle on!

Wicked Wonderful Weekend

 I had a really nice weekend. I didn't expect to since I had both my Covid booster and my flu shot  on Thursday afternoon. My first of the original two Covid shots put me under the weather for about 24 hours...but I just got a headache from this one and that's about it. And since I get headaches anyway, who knows if it was from the shots or not? At any rate, I was prepared for a stay-at-home-lay-about weekend.  Life is what happens when you are making other plans.  Since I decided Friday Night that I guess I wasn't going to be incapacitated after all, I arranged to go with friend, Donna to Baraboo to the Arts and Crafts Festival. It was really nice and way bigger than I thought it would be. Baraboo is where Ringling Brothers started so there were also circus-y things all over town. So much fun! After the Fair we went to lunch at a little breakfast place and then headed to one of my fav spots, Pewett's Nest, to see the gorge and waterfall. Then we stopped at Sky Hi Ap...
