What else have I been doing......I did three mini paintings on 3" x 3 " wooden blocks to give as gifts. Also painted four wooden boxes to fill and give as gifts. Spent part of a day painting the tips of huge pinecones white to use as decoration for the holidays. Then, I'm in the middle of sewing a, hmmm, I suppose it's a sort of dressing gown, in a patch work design. Maybe a lounging coat would be a better name. It's time consuming as each bit of material has to been sewn on.
I also spent a morning clearing out the small storage room/pantry. It was filled with stuff that had been hanging around for years, stuff that was never used, and I was getting fed up with it all. So, I packed up about seven boxes and lugged them up to the shed. I have to go up a bit of a hill to get to the shed so bringing these boxes up there was no mean feat.
Another bear came around and knocked down a feeder that was nailed onto the top of a post. That particular post had four wooden signs with the four directions and elements associated with them. Two of those were hanging off. That has now been repaired.
Lots of birds around now. You can set your watch by when the crows come flying in for breakfast. 7:15am I hear them cawing in the distance and within seconds big black shadows appear. I do love them so. The Juncos have arrived and will hang around for the winter.
Well, I really must take off. We will be cleaning the chimney shortly. We're just waiting for the sun to come up. A few pictures.......Sleepy Stanley, Little Freya waiting for her treats and handsome Frankie posing for his picture.
