Memorial day......a day of reflection....

Today we reflect on the phrase "Freedom is not free" as we remember all who have fought for our freedom.  
********************************************

I completed 30 more blocks, 2 each of 15 yesterday.  I think I'm up to 96 blocks out of 108.
I had my zoom lens out to the max so the photos are a little fuzzy. I finally got the cardinal pair together in a photo.
This is where one is passing a seed to the other.
The bunny was keeping an eye on the cardinals while he was eating bird seed.  I need to dig out that little redbud tree so I have a better view.

We have had birds flying into out picture window. A Baltimore Oriole did yesterday, but it survived. Looks like the block stack is growing at a great rate, Chris

Great progress on your blue blocks. You will have a quilt before you knw it.

Just as I finished reading this post, I looked up and saw a cardinal land on our deck. They are such beautiful birds.

I'm really looking forward to seeing your blue quilt when it's together. I love your fabric choices for it!
We have a pair of cardinals on the roof garden this year. They are so beautiful!

What great pictures. I have only seen one cardinal in my life-when I was visiting family in Maine. It was a male and was the most beautiful bird I think I have ever seen. Loving that quilt!

Love those blues, Wanda! This will be a stunning quilt. Can't wait to see it. We had two bunnies in our yard late last night when we returned home. No more duck sightings though.

This is one quilt I am anxiously waiting to see ... I know it is BLUE like I have never seen before.

What a treat to see your cardinals... wish we had them here, but at least I can see your photo's of them.

That's a LOT of blue squares - looks great! Cardinals are my favorite of the backyard birds. They are so kind to each other and to their children.
