Thursday we had rain, wind, thunderstorms, and flooding.
Today Snowstorms Riley & Sonny hit! Thursday I received my new Master Blaster dog dryer, which I tried out today until it got too hot. The boys are shedding bad right now, as you can tell. Riley is pretty much done, except his rump area because he kept sitting down on me. I started on Sonny, but he has a lot more that can come out. He has a very thick coat. I'd rather have these furballs on my grass than all over in the house!
Here is a picture of our resident robin with her second batch of babies. You can just see a baby's head peaking out of the nest. Several years ago they built their first nest on top of the light fixture. Each year they add a new nest. The nest is getting pretty close to the top of the porch, so I'm not sure what they'll do next year. She's so use to us going in and out of the front door now, she won't even move when we walk out. I'm not sure how many eggs were in the nest because it's a little too tall for either of us to see in, unless we get a ladder. I don't think she'd like that though. So we'll wait until they get bigger. Hopefully this time they all fit in the nest until they're ready to fly. The first batch of babies she had grew too big for the nest and one fell out. I put it back in and she left it until it was ready to fly.
CAUTION: Put on your sunglasses. Here are some of the sub-units for the Quilting Diva top I'm working on. I like bright fabrics, but this may even be a little too much for me. We'll see when I start putting it all together.
