Busy, Busy, Busy!

I’ve been buzzing around the studio for the last couple of weeks filling in for Mary and Toni as they have been out on vacation. Toni took a wonderful trip to Hawaii for a week and Mary made a trip to Panama but both are back and that means I get to get back to creating again. In addition to filling in for them over the last couple of weeks I’ve been sewing together a new quilt call “Songs of the Season” that will be featured in a special publication to be released in August of this year. I will post more on that later but thought I’d post a couple of pictures before it gets sent off for photography.

On Saturday Paul and I went over to Braddock Bay along Lake Ontario for their birds of prey migration and banding days. We got to see a Sharp Shinned hawk that had been caught and then banded as well as a Northern Harrier. I snapped a picture as they released the Harrier. It was a bitterly cold and windy day unlike the beautiful sunny day we are having today. In addition to the hawks we saw a Bald Eagle, about 200 Turkey Vultures as they migrated overhead and several swans in the marshes.

I started some nasturtium seeds a couple of weeks ago and most of the seeds are up and getting their second set of leaves. All of this puts me in the mood of spring and if you were here you’d see my “it’s spring! It’s Spring!! IT’S SPRING!!! dance around the studio. Have a great day.
