Welcome To My Temporarily Permanet New Look

Had a nice support and newsy email from Susan of http://e-i-e-i-omg-bybiddie.blogspot.com/
Susan always has a way with situations and looking at the world that takes my mind away from my little corner of the world. If you haven't read her latest post please do so.

It is pretty toasty here today and our lows have been about 72. We have been saved by nice evening breezes and lighter ones during the day also. Of course with breeze comes wildfire potential with high temps. But I am grateful for them as they permit sleep at night which keeps me sane and during the day it makes it more tolerable for man and beast.

 Sunflowers new blooms popping out daily. 

 Today I had young sparrows colliding with the window doors that open onto a deck. The poor birds would hit the window (I hate that sound) and slide down the glass mouth gaping open due to over heating. That was it after number three hit the deck literally. I tossed together this free bird feeder from left over parts in the green house. Even though this picture doesn't show it they took advantage of the a bath and no one came near the window again today. So the search is on for a respectable bird bath.

 

Gradient spinning was the task of the afternoon. I spent the morning outside in fairly decent weather but at noon was inside holding my own spin in. I have a 4 ounce braid of BFL I am using and hopeful they will grow up to be a pair of socks. 

Lastly I spent some time looking for my lost Layout link so I could possibly get this new look to behave itself but no cigar. I will have another go at it on Thursday. Wednesday holds house cleaning in the morning. The afternoon will be spent at the Tehama County fair judging adult baked goods. Wish me and the entrants luck!
