I've started stitching a small Heart in Hand Valentine piece. I might be able to finish it up today.
As many of you long-time Followers know, I not only count my stitches, but I also count my birds. This Friday through Monday is the annual Great Backyard Bird Count. I encourage everyone to click the link and check it out. It is a Citizens' Science project where birders of all skill levels submit their data - basically the birds that they see in a 15 minute (or more) period of time in their yards. If you are an apartment dweller, you could submit data from a walk in your local park. I think it is good fun and I enjoy taking part each year.
Here are some of the birds that you might see:
American Robins
Female House Finch and Oregon Junco
Male House Finch
Bickering House Finches
Now they are done arguing!
Spotted Towhee
Male California Quail
Female California Quail
California Quail Group
Beautiful stitching xx
