Field Notes- A strange day. Chilly, Clouds....like it can't make up it's mind.

 Gray.  Like the day.  I'm thinking these are all knots.  Or lines of short stitches.  

I sometimes save an image because whatever the maker did is of some interest to me.  Covering a cloth with lines of various length stitches in close lines seemed interesting to me.  I rarely quilt in a pattern.  I usually just make lines of stitch following the shapes when I do quilt.  I like quilting.  But most of my work doesn't play well with it.  

G has a new (well, we've done the puzzle before but it's still a puzzle) puzzle he is working on- doing the outer edge.  I dumped the pieces out yesterday and turned them all face up.  It's best when he has two to four activities to chose from in an average day.  Reading. Puzzles. Outdoor Chores (yesterday it was filling the bird feeders)....... Coloring and Word Search are his favorites.  

The Bird Feeders needed to be washed and filled so G was busy with that.  Birds don't like a dirty bird feeder or old moldy seeds or dirty bird bath/drinking water.

Also, as an instructor, I would caution all of you...if you start--continue.  The birds depend on you for food and water once they find your Feeder and Bird Bath.  Forgetting to fill the feeder or replacing dirty water.....these hungry thirsty birds will need to find a new source (when they find your feeder/bird bath.. empty) And that might not end well. I doubt anyone else on our street is feeding birds. And clean water is hard to find and the pools of water in the Deep Dark Woods behind the house- have hungry animals waiting..nearby.  We would find scattered body parts......on the daily walks with the dog.

Mostly I taught people how to ATTRACT Birds to their yards.  Water, food, flowers, trees/shrubs with berries.  Sustainable food.  

My classes were more about how to become a good person.....my employer put up with me. The classes were popular. Go figure, huh?  But George says everyone needs therapy.
