I finally got around to putting together #5 block from Shannon's blog.  I love working with these blocks.  They are so easy to put together and they all look so nice on my wall.  I'll show all of them maybe next month.
 

We had a couple of visitors to the backyard the other day.  A pair of Crescent Doves stopped by.  One of them was much whiter than the other.   Sorry the pic is so blurry.  I was trying to take a picture through the back door storm window and at an angle so the camera couldn't focus right.   But at least it shows the different colors of the birds.
And the gold finches are here and eating up a storm.  I wasn't sure Don was going to buy thistle seed this year.  He grips about how expensive it is.  But (as usual - he's all bluster) he gave in and brought home a bag and the little guys are happy and spreading the word.  Food's On!
