Okay, so it was getting old and a bit buggy... They could have waited two more weeks...

And the violets were probably carried by the birds. Electric Quilt is a software but what a great quilt that would be!

Love your idea of using the strings for bird nests.

Yes, those little threads all over your clothes were certainly "Hilachas." I love all the pretty flowers in your blog post today. The electric lines are "something else," right? Seems like something we hate to live with but can't live without.

"you live so far away" was the most often used phrase- I guess I never thought 15 miles was that far - with the highway it takes me about 15 minutes to get to the town meeting place - I guess it is ok for me to always drive but no one in town wants to drive it to me! I have peace and solitude, deer in the woods to look at, birds all over the place, rabbits eating the backyard grass - I always find it odd that people in town think it is so far to drive to go just a little way out in the countryKaren - Quilts...etc.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07293429657903986492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175671672721833449.post-8800672590955873992014-04-12T05:45:03.643-07:002014-04-12T05:45:03.643-07:00With such a good collection of fabric for your new...With such a good collection of fabric for your new quilt there is no wonder your black clothes get coloured by the various threads.<br />While I was away no one looked after my planters so my balcony is a garden of weeds and dry plants, When I find the energy I will clear it out.<br />How anyone could prune a blossoming tree is a mystery to me! It reminds me of Morticia Adams of The Adams Family, who cut off the heads of all her roses so she could arrange the stems in a vase.<br />Those power lines look like the safety net at a circus!
