Mid-Week Update

I do hope to stitch a Thanksgiving themed chart or two.

Here's my current selection.

A couple of the Big Leaf Maple are finally beginning to get some autumn color.

And I'm noticing lots of the younger Douglas Fir trees are loaded with cones.

That means a good supply of winter food for the birds and critters like squirrels.

Speaking of squirrels...

Ground squirrels are another name for the chipmunks.

Have you ever seen a chipmunk's tongue before?

Take a close look! 

It's unusual to have two as close together as this pair.

With no sign of frost in the forecast, I guess they are not in any hurry to hibernate.

I wouldn't mind a Long Winter's Nap myself!
