On Sunday I picked up "October's Marigold" after a couple of week's hiatus. I stitched the black cat, the orange moon, and the eyes and mouths of all the pumpkins. I also stitched the sentiment. All that is left to do - the marigolds!
Changes continue in the Bird World as we transition from summer to fall.
Most of the Band-tailed Pigeons have left - I have a small flock of 6-7 birds lingering on.
The Swallows are gone as are most of the Turkey Vultures.
On the plus side, the Golden-crowned Sparrows have returned.
There are more Juncos around.
And I'm hearing and seeing lots more Black-capped Chickadees.
"Chick-a-dee-dee-dee!"
The Red-breasted Nuthatches are active as well.
They prefer the protection of a conifer forest.
So they are most active at the feeder in my sister's Dahlia garden.
The California Quail come by daily.
My beloved Annas are permanent residents and I can count on seeing them literally every day of the year.

Beth, October's Marigold is beautiful! The colours are gorgeous! We are also being entertained by juncos, nuthatchers and chickadees.
I really love the October piece -- it's wonderful, even without the marigolds! Beautiful birds too, of course. Been away all weekend so I'm catching up!
Really love this WIP so much, Beth--can't wait to see it all finished up!
Great pictures, as always! Hubby is in agreement to start bird watching... so tomorrow we shall start gathering supplies and such! Yay!
A great spooky piece.
I love October's Marigold. The colours are stunning. I fear I won't get to this one this year as I'm still on July!
