A Halloween Stitch From the Past

Design - "Hiss"
Chart - "Eek Boo Hiss"

Fabric - 30 count Chestnut linen

Started - 28 October 2011 
Completed - 31 October 2011

I'm not managing to stitch much this month, so here is yet another trip back in time to the Cross Stitch Archives.  I do like this scrawny black cat and his purple house.

Another gray morning.

The Steller's Jays were out in force.

I'm hearing and seeing Black-capped Chickadees.  On Wednesday I caught a glimpse of Townsend's Warbler hanging out with the chickadees.  Of course, I did not have my camera!

If there are two Oregon Juncos, then there is probably a scuffle!

The House Finches though flock to the feeders in harmony.
This is a female.

Here's a male.

And here they are hanging out with American Goldfinches. 

I've said it before, I'll say it again - Everyone eats blackberries.
These two quail were munching on the leaves. 

I counted over 60 quail in the backyard this morning!
