The flowers were a bit of a challenge, but in looking at this stitch, I am still very pleased with it.
The Violet-green Swallows are nesting.
I do not often see them out and about.
I know this house is occupied...
...as is this one.
May was a mostly hawk-free month which was fine with me...
With hawks elsewhere, the songbirds felt confident at the feeders and I got to see my Lesser Goldfinches.
The Evening Grosbeaks continue to hang around...
The Towhees are singing up a storm...
...and I think the Black-capped Chickadees are nesting.

Love the bird pics as always. Great June header, and great stitching too!
That sampler is wonderful Beth.
What a pretty sampler. I love the checked linen, just right for the piece!
Your Sam Sarah piece is awesome! First of all, stitching on the gingham... was it challenging? I haven't tried it yet. But those flowers... wow! Just about every bird is nesting! Surely do love the Violet-green Swallows, as their colors are beautiful to see! Send the Lesser Goldfinch this way, would you? :)
