Windy and Chilly

It's a blustery day here at the Three Cats Ranch. I went out to fill the birdfeeders this morning and I had to put on my winter coat for the first time. The leaves are still hanging stubbornly to my favorite fall tree, but they won't last long with the wind blowing like it is.

Yesterday Mike and I went out running errands, but it was such a nice day that we stopped off to see the eagles' nest at the Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge near our place. We didn't see the eagles, but the nest was in plain view. You can see that the tree fell over, and the park employees have propped it back up for the eagles.

There are still throngs of ducks and geese in the pond, but they were much quieter on this afternoon than they were on the morning that Sue and I visited.

Today Eliza's Koala table was delivered and set up, and she's feeling pretty darned regal in her new digs. The table was out of stock the day we purchased the machine. It gives me about an additional six inches of space on either side of the machine. Mike and I also picked up a small craft table yesterday so I'll have places to put some things.

While they were setting that up, I went downstairs and finished up the fifth of five pay-it-forward gifts. I know the recipient of this one reads my blog, and so I can only give you a peek until it reaches her. Here's a hint though: Magic!

So now that my new table is set up, I'm going to continue on with my quilting. Here's one more shot of the tree. Enjoy it, because it will soon be finished with its fall show.

Mike took yesterday and today off for Veteran's Day, and so it has felt like a week of Sundays here. I have chicken and dumplings in the crockpot for dinner, and I'm going to enjoy the rest of my day. I hope you're having a nice day too. Pin It
