Happy as a Clam!


Finally finished this little guy. Now where's the linguine & olive oil? Kidding! Just the eyes, stuffing, and a whole lot of finishing work (for such a little guy), but he is just so huggable! Tonight I'll try to finish the turkey in between sections of the Soho wrap.

Had the most delightfully dreary Monday today. Fire in the fireplace & hot chocolate & knitting while cold & rainy outside kind of delightful. Started off the day with family/friends over for breakfast (ohhh those yummy banana oatmeal waffles!). My oldest niece and a friend are headed off to a semester in Prague. Yup, jealous. One day I will see more of Europe than the inside of an airport. One day. In the meantime... I refilled the suet/peanut nugget feeder, much to the delight of the red-bellied woodpeckers, wrens, and warblers. Will have to try to capture a shot at rush hour out here. In addition to the previously mentioned birds, it usually involves over a dozen mourning doves, half-a-dozen cardinals, downy woodpeckers, goldfinches, house finches, juncos, chickadees, tufted titmice, blue jays, and a couple of phoebes by the pool. The Cooper's Hawk comes through every so often to make sure everyone is on their toes.
