This was a joy to stitch. I loved the effect the variegated floss Tyler Boy Blue created with the verse. The blue mat picks up the color as well.
Our Nature Post today is "For the Birds".
I bought a new suet feeder to try and keep out the starlings. They flock the feeder and can eat a brick of suet in a day. So this is the new contraption. It looks rather like a jail cell, but the Downy Woodpeckers have figured out how to use it and don't seem bother by it - and the suet is lasting much longer.
I also bought a peanut feeder and the Scrub Jays are thrilled.
Peanuts appear to be one thing the Band-Tailed Pigeons do not eat!
Nor for that matter do the Hummingbirds!

Hi, I am a new follower. Love your Bee stitching.
Last week we drove home from Washington to California, I saw many of the wild flowers you have pictured. You have a beautiful and lushful state.
