Sunday evening. What a change between the last few days and today. After below 0 temps, today’s 30 degrees almost seemed balmy. Note the “almost”, I included it for a reason. I anxiously await Spring. Carol is also anxious as well. She knows then I won’t be sewing as much.
Saw some of Mother Nature’s pets romping on the banking beside the pond. I was looking out the window drinking my coffee and cussing at the bird that hit the window and see a

Fisher. Much too far away for a picture but with binoculars I could easily see what it was. Cool to see and we wonder how often a variety of wildlife goes unseen. I’ve mentioned the tracks on the pond and that we never see the animals that make them.
The birds have been busy at the feeders. Thanks to the wicked wind we had there is bird seed all over the place. On the ground around the feeder and all along the front and side of the house. The mourning doves aren’t complaining.

#10 for 2023 also had it’s first picture taken last night. On this one I still used the 16-patch as the primary block. I added 8 blocks with pinwheels as well. This time I put the pinwheel in the center of the block. I had wanted it there on the last quilt but decided not to as I couldn’t think of a way to still create the 10” block as four 4-patch blocks. Each of them trimmed with the 4-patch square up so I knew I would have perfect 10-1/2” unfinished blocks every time. While on our walk the other day I figured out how to do it and it worked great. It allowed me to make 4-patch blocks with 3 squares and 1 half square triangle. Problem solved.
So enjoy the beginning of your week and someone will yak at you another time.
