A blast from the past. I do not like to eat summer squash, but I've enjoyed every kind of winter squash that I've ever tried.


The Acorn Woodpeckers have been busy, busy, busy. 

As best I can tell they've now got a 2nd granary tree and are storing peanuts as fast as they can.  I've wondered how many flights back and forth from my feeders to the tree they make in a day.

Here's a photo of one of the females (top) and the male below her.

    Your squash stitch is cute. The Acorn woodpeckers seem to be very industrious.
