More nature and a finish.

I saw this squirrel yesterday chipping off the green layer on a walnut. If you click on the picture you can see little pieces of the green laying on the branch. A little later one of his pals ran across the yard with a walnut in his mouth and he scurried up one of my little lilac bushes. He was squirming around in there for a little bit and when he went down I saw that he had lodged a walnut into the intersections of some branches. So much for hiding in plain view. Here is one more picture that didn't get into yesterday's post. Be sure to click on this one to see his beak/mouth better. Thanks to my readers who left comments, I now know a lot more about these butterflies. It is definitely a painted lady.
One branch in my redbud trees has decided it is fall/autumn. All of the redbud trees will turn yellow like this and then the leaves all have a race to fall in one day. You can just stand there and watch them falling like rain. I hope that is a few weeks away though.
I put a facing on the pointed bottom edge of this one and then put binding around the other three sides. The pattern called for 4 light blocks and they just don't blend in like I would have liked them to. I was tempted to take markers and draw some little designs on some of the light fabrics.
Today is supposed to be hot again, but not too humid. They are predicting cool weather for a few days after that. I hope it happens for the sake of the merchants in the buildings at the fair which starts on Wed.
