Inspired by the Gift of a Feather

The juvenile Cooper Hawk continues to visit. He now likes taking baths in my small pond. He sits on a brick that holds the pump down and I can watch him undetected from my kitchen window. I have watched him become bolder and more vigorous as he becomes more comfortable.  I discovered a feather floating in the wind on Friday shortly after he flew off. Since I committed to Kimberly Baxter Packwood's 60 day Crow/Bird challenge, I was feeling a little stressed on Saturday because I had not posted a piece to the Facebook page. So I went back to doing what I do when I feel the need to create but don't have much time--I created two cards. I will share them with a friend or family member.  Simple, low stress and yet satisfying which is how expressing one's self is just what is needed sometimes.

Sunday Afternoon Gift and Village Quilters

The Cooper Hawk that hangs out in my yard decided to take a bath in one of my pots. He just sat in the water for about 5 minutes before totally immersing into the water. He was fascinating to watch. Lucky was with me because that he was far enough away that my camera did not cause him to fly away.  Yes, I know I am easily entertained.

And if you're free Monday night come here my new lecture, Putting Stretch Marks on Your Comfort Zone, at the Village Quilters Quilt Guild meeting. I can't wait. Hope to see you!
