Photo Spread

Just a few photos, since my last two weeks of posts have been lacking. The first one is cut off (as are others, but you’re not losing anything), due to the width of my blog, so click for the full picture, if you so desire.

First up, a photo of 4 big blue jays that were on the ground under my feeder on Sunday. There were actually 6 of them on the ground at one point, but I didn’t grab the camera fast enough. I was outside sitting on the porch when one of these landed on Saturday and they are huge! Probably a foot long from the beak to the tip of the tail.

Next is the squirrel that I found sitting contentedly amidst all of the birds (though there was only one when I snapped this photo), nibbling away at the sunflower seeds.

Then, what did I spy with my little eye while doing the dishes yesterday evening? Why, little lavender sprouts! See, I told you it could be done. It’s just the period when they are transplanted outside to when they grow up that’s the tricky part. But I have a plan for that, as well. Intermediate housing, so to speak. Each individual seedling will be transplanted into its own little cup to grow nice and strong before being put into larger pots outside.

And finally, this Sunday’s update to Barnabee’s Quest. I finished 4 bands on Sunday and now have just two bands and the border left to go! I can almost see the finish line, except for the beads and charms that need to be added to the whole piece before it’s truly complete. But still, I’m getting there!
