We are getting to true autumn weather here - cooler temps - lows in the 30s his weekend - rainy days and the windy bringing down leaves.

And here is one of my favorite autumn birds.

Cedar Waxwings!

Late September through most of October I get larger and larger groups as they much on cascara, hawthorn, elderberry, and other fruits.

They tend to gather in the morning and evening.

These photos are from Wednesday morning.

Pretty birds against a blue blue sky.

Beth, that is a gorgeous stitch. I’ve never seen that Prairie Schooler pattern before. It’s beautiful, and you did a great job with it. Nearly 13 years to get it framed? Haha.... I have a box of “someday-I-will-have-this-framed” projects, too.
