Awash in Stitches and Finches

Look at the goodies that arrived in the mail!

A veritable sea of stitching. Rabbits, and bees, and Christmas, and snowmen, and owls and new DMC colors too. Fun stuff for the rest of the year.

I've been awash in finches. 

The House Finches have been congregating at the birdbath...

..and the fountain.  Sometimes the confabs turn quarrelsome.

The same goes with the Evening Grosbeaks. 

The tend to arrive in large groups.

There are six guys and five gals awaiting a turn at the feeders.

Here's a close-up of three ladies.

Now the Black-headed Grosbeak can have his turn at the fountain.

I've seen three guys in the area.

And a couple of Black-headed Grosbeak gals.
