A New Stitch A New Yard Bird

Photo from L*K website

While attempting to figure out what I might stitch next, I stumbled across a new Lizzie Kate feebie!  It offers two lower border options acorns or flowers. You can find it here.

L*K also has released a new exclusive Christmas design. You can read about it here.

So Saturday was an especially awesome day.  After suffering through an overtime loss to Stanford two weeks ago, I got to watch the Oregon Ducks beat the University of Washington Huskies in overtime.  When I got home around 5pm, I decided to decompress and watch birds for a bit.

A flash of bright yellow in the trees caught my eye.

Can you see it?

I looked through my binoculars and low and behold it was a Townsend's Warbler.  All last winter I longed to see one and never did.

It has a bright black and yellow head. I'm hoping it is not just passing through, but will spend the fall and winter in my neighborhood.

I normally do not post critter photos during the week, but I thought this photo of Heckle and Jeckle which I've titled Brotherly Love was just too cute and needed to be published to put a smile on your face as the work week begins.
