Marching Along

Here's the chart, the linen, and the fibers for Cottage Garden Sampling's "February's Primrose".  Now in my book, the flowers on the chart look nothing like a primrose, but I'm willing to suspend disbelief for artistic license (and also because the daffodils in "March's Daffodil" really do look like daffodils.) 

With warmer weather, Tom-Cat has taken to marching about patrolling the property.

He was all business (which means deaf to coming when his name is called).

Watch out everyone - there's a predator on the move!

I think I mentioned earlier that the Red-breasted Sapsuckers had returned.

I have to confess I found it amusing that this one decided to pound away on the roof of our cat face birdhouse.

Now that they Sapsuckers are active once again, I keep looking to see Rufous Hummingbirds. Rufous Hummingbirds live in close association with Red-breasted Sapsucker. The Hummers nest near sap wells and often follow the Woodpeckers around during the day, feeding at the wells the Sapsuckers keeps flowing.

Almost every morning a "V" or two of Geese fly overhead.

I finally got a shot where the faces are clear (the guy on the left is 'honking') and the flight movement of the wing tips is pronounced.
