Texas trip

I offered this swarm of bees a nice new home in our beeyard but they gratefully declined. Something about snow...
This tarantula came to visit us and Bert carefully took it to an area with bushes. The next day our neighbour said he saw one at his site (same one?) and his wife said he stomped on it!!
Bert caught a fish on his first attempt at fishing this year and felt he didn't have to seriously fish anymore this year.
This female cardinal fell in love with herself in our truck window. She pecked at our mirror first and we put a bag on it but for days she tried all the windows in the area around us and was still at it when we left. I believe Donna had a similar experience a while back with her kitchen window. The male just sat in the nearby bushes and encouraged her. They tell us that she is trying to get rid of the competition in the area before she mates.

Love this photo!!!

News from Texas

We arrived here a week ago and it was 31 degrees that day! Now we are in for a cool spell with daytime highs of 18. Can't complain too much though since there isn't any snow! We will be at Falcon State Park until the beginning of March and from then we will stay here and there. We should be back by the 20th of March. Sorry, but I don't have any pictures to post but perhaps might when we have better internet access.

Barn Quilt finished

This is an appliqued quilt that I have been working on for a few years and I am sure you have all either seen it while it was in process. I finally finished it yesterday.
Here are some of my favourite scenes from the quilt. That rooster took me three hours to make.
Love these cows. But I had to paint them on white material. All new experiences for me.
