Lot's of LIFE here ....

There has been a lot of BUZZing going on here.. and it has not just been in my sewing studio..
Yesterday afternoon, I took my latest project and went and sat our on our patio with my camera of course and had a bit of company to say the least...
Our bacopa's are one of those flowering plants that our bees just love... I was lucky enough to capture this one in flight...

It is so amazing when one can seize the moment and be soooo appreciative of the life around us....I was in heaven yesterday...

I have noted lately we have been going through quite a few peanuts... This is a very young blue jay..he doesn't even have a comb yet on his head. I thought it was because we have a family of blue jays helping themselves....
( note, our bald blue jay is just waiting for a new do.. apparently this happens a lot in late summer..they look all their plumes...)

I asked Sumatra and T-cup had they seen anything....they acted like they did not know what I was talking about...

When all of a sudden, I heard some commotion to my left... LOOOOOOK a squirrel has been helping himself to our Blue Jays food of choice...

I scared him when I started my snapshots, so he scurried to our lawn and started burying his nuts....I just know it...we will be having all kinds of peanuts growing in the spring...

Sumatra was more interested in all the BEES that were coming to visit...

T-cup was more interested in the squirrel....

So here is what I have been working on ....some solids from Riley blake Designs to create this...
A very large SQUARE quilt... At the moment, I am stitching a song all around the border.... and I have a number of appliqués to still add...

Will share that in September....I may have it done by then...
I am heading back out before our downpour brings all of our wildlife inside ..wink.
