I forgot to post this photo last week when we got the 4" of snow. Those are coneflower heads with the snow hats on. In the background is the brush pile that won't get picked up by the city until April. Even a squirrel sneaked into the photo.

Another gift, bird feeders, and rascals....

Wishing you a happy belated birthday Wanda.
What a sneeky squirrel.
Love the phots of the beautiful bird and the snow.
We will loose all our snow in the next few days. Suppose to get to 49*F on Sat. We havwe no where else to push the snow. Plan on sewing today. Chris
Love those batiks, Wanda - I was slobbering all over the screen! Does your squirrel know the feeder is s'posed to be "him" proof? LOL I'm glad the birds were able to get some too!
Today's secret word is "therst"

Hello Wanda - A belated Happy Birthday to you. Lovely batics, beautiful woodpeckers but squirrels get hungry too. Are you going to throw some food out for them? Everything they buried to get them thru winter is under all that snow.

Oh what a nice gift. I love batiks.
There is a bird like that who visits our feeders. I believe he is a yellow-bellied sapsucker. They are such fun to watch.
Happy birthday - even if it is a little late ,)
The batiks are wonderful, what a great present!
Great choices on the batiks and the pictures of the critters in your yard are always great. Thanks for sharing!
Love the fabrics you selected!
That is one determined little squirrel you have - lol! Thanks for sharing your wonderful photos.
Great picture of a red-bellied woodpecker. I always thought they should be called a "mohawk" woodpecker :-) Love that bright spot of color on their head.
Beautiful fabric!
From my sewing table/desk I have a perfect view of the bird feeder/suet hanger/thistle seed bag - such a nice view! love you birds.

Love those photos boy I LOL with that squirrel they are really smart little things aren't they. Your batiks are wonderful. Happy Newy Year
Great fabrics! I have that smae bird feeder. We don't have problems with the squirels were I live for some reason. Maybe since we a pretty rural the squirels have other things to eat.
What a wonderful Christmas gift!!!!
That little squirrel looks pretty determined. The woodpecker is gorgeous!
I have been having trouble keeping the squirrels out of the peanut butter. I spread it on the tree trunk for the birds. This week I added a lot of tabasco sauce to the peanut butter. I think it has worked. Apparently it doesn't bother the birds at all.
Those pesky squirrels will sneak into anything! I used to think they were so cute until the year they took one bite out of every ripe tomato in our garden. Since then - no!
Those fabrics are so pretty. There's just something about the batiks, they shine!
Love those batiks! Your squirrel photo really made me laugh. Those critters are something else! Loved your bird photo too. During the winter here we generally get sparrows and magpies at the feeder.
Your chosen batiks are lovely.
I've watched some interesting TV programs (mainly on public TV) about "squirrel proof" feeders and how long it takes for those little critters to solve the puzzles put in their way. Hopefully yours will be a success.
The white ground cover probably isn't going anywhere, if our weather forecasts are correct. I can always count on you to have some photos that make me feel better about early winter snow. You show the BEST of the snow-- the beauty of it.
Gorgeous batiks!!
Those squirrels are a lot smarter than the designers of the feeders think!
Squirrels ! ! ! !
The ones that visit our feeder come from across the street, dang, they are as fat as can be.
Thank goodness they do leave once in a while and let the birds eat.
Lots of Cardinals this winter.
Happy Winter Hugs,
Gerry
My Dad had a squirrel-proof feeder which the squirrels love to feed from too! They're clever little creatures!
Great fabrics and wonderful gift for you Wanda- I especially like the piece near the bottom left with the squares stamped on it.
Those squirrels are pretty clever aren't they? I love the bird too- quite the handsome dude.
Hope you have a wonderful New Year. I will look forward to seeing your new projects.
Warmest regards,
Anna
Your coorwash K quilt is soooo pretty. Hope you can finish it soon.
I never had heard of Charley Harper before and did some surfing to learn something new - thanks!
Good luck with those squirrels. Impossible to keep them out, I think.
The photo of the coneflowers reminds me that I had a purple coneflower at my home in Dover. I don't have one in my garden in Akron, but I think I am going to be on the lookout for one. I still have some space in my front garden for some plants. I will have to do some research though to find out if the deer would eat them.
