well, the baby bird survived - at least I hope he did. I picked him up and put him in a box to relax, and then set him in the nursery behind our house. plenty of coverage and trees and grasses to hide out in. I researched what to do on line and found that he might be learning how to fly - and that I shoudln't have disturbed him. Well, with the cats closing in fast, had I not done something, he'd a been a goner for sure.
Speaking of which, later yesterday morning, i looked out our window and just below our bird feeders was an enormous pile of feathers. No, not from our little injured friend, more than likely from a dove who didn't know that standing still wasn't very good camouflage. i dunno who the culprit was, but someone got a snack.
made another blackberry cobbler from our blackberry trip the other day. gave some to our neighbors next door who are nice enough to mow our front lawn when they mow theirs. what a deal. In Tx, in the summer, its just awfully hot to be mowing and to come home and see people mowing and edging your yard is pretty sweet, indeed. deserved some blackberry cobbler, dontcha think?
My Silver Challenge (see column to left) has finally been posted on Corina's site. Not that that means anything right now, her silver publication won't be out until next month some time. But you can still see all the other very interesting silvered beads shown. All the beads have some sort of silver on them, except Dodies' who ARE silver wire! silly girl! there are a lot of pics and it may take a while for them to load. i had to leave the page and come back before half of them would even appear.
I'm ready to go stand in line NOW for the next Potter book. how pathetic does that make me? With my luck, i'll be in line and they'll run out. ha.
We are taking care of a friend's kitties this weekend while she's away. they look so much like our kitties when they were little - a sold gray and a striped gray. She named them Izzy and Iris and they are pretty cute! Brian is going to take some pics of them, i'll post them so you can see.
Thanks for the orders and inquiries about the Striped Summer beads. I just bought a striped tote for the summer and these beads would look perfect to wear with them. hint hint!
