The End of the Year

I picked up this reindeer after Christmas and have been stitching away on his quilt pattern middle. I still need to frog out the hind leg and redo it with a better thread match. Then there's a bunch of snow to stitch.
 

This Cooper]s Hawk hung out in the backyard for an hour or so Wednesday afternoon.

So the Bushtits happily worked away on the feeders with peanut halves in the front of the house.

A commenter asked what they were eating and it's peanuts.  They also really like suet.

Here's one waiting its turn at the feeder.

This guy is grabbing a bit of peanut.

Lots of much-needed protein and fat during this cold, snowy weather.
