We had a real treat this morning. Hubby motioned me over to the kitchen window and pointed outside where a large hawk was sitting on the grass. He appeared to be watching for a mouse. I have never thought of them as ground hunters before but that is what this one was doing. I had just enough time to take an out of focus photo of him with my phone. I haven't downloaded it yet but when I do, I will share.
I have started cutting some fabric for a small quilt using a pattern that I am making up as I go. It starts with 3.5 x 6.5 inch rectangles which are sewn together to make a square. I will share the steps as I go along but need to get each one perfected first.
It hasn't been a pleasant day with a cold rain falling throughout. We should still be getting some warm weather but the days are definitely getting shorter. I usually look forward to the end of summer but it has been such a nice one this year (other that some days that were way too hot) that I am loathe to see it go.
On Saturday, I may be purchasing something I have been considering for a long time. I have a couple of friends who are really into vintage machines and I have been thinking about getting a hand crank. I have a lead on one in Huntsville that is a good price and in working condition. We will take a look at it but I am pretty sure I will be bringing it home. Here is a photo.
Blessings,
Nice. Both to see the eagle and to find the machine. I hope it works out.
