Tremendous and Trite Thursday Things From Me

March Moon with planes flying again and UFO, LOL.

 Raining as I write, but Ned and I had a wonderful rain free walk early morning in the cool but invigorating fresh air. Saw three American Robins and two little Downy Woodpeckers while being seranaded by bird song all around. I sat on the skating shack steps, took time to breathe in the air and reminded myself of wonderful things I am very thankful for. 

                         I love that the Indiana Barred Owl live cam is back up and running. I've lost track of how many years I've watched.  She has laid her usual 3 eggs. With the way the male and female hunt and feed the little ones, I'm confident they will all three survive and fledge just like other years. 

Thanks again for all the wonderful comments about helping me sort the border for my embroidered Hazel's Summer Wildflowers.  After unpicking the arrangement I had sewed, I resewed them the conventional way. Since I had both sides heading in the same direction already and was really opposed to unsewing one of them, I did this... I do think this looks okay and better than it was before. I messed up one side there and wound up with a baby goose on one end and a stouter one on the other! Imperfect just like me!

This was my March OMG at Elm Street Quilts and I'm happy to have moved this project along to this point.  Haven't a clue how to quilt it and I'm going to retire this again for the time being. My April OMG will be completely different- finishing an appliqued piece.

I love this mug from The Pioneer Woman. It is Sweet Rose from her Floral Medley line. It has the most comfortable handle, holds lots of coffee with room for frothed milk, and has a pretty colour palette. From Walmart. 

I wanted to show you that planter with the twigs. It's the remains of the Poinsettia I'd taken from daughter's house. As you know, I'd cut it all the way back and it is finally sprouting a few leaves. Someone told me this would not work because commercially grown plants are treated somehow to not regrow. Have you ever heard of this?  I think it is true with potatoes. 

I enjoyed reading this CBC article about Joyce Roberts of Alaska and her bead work. Here are her Dancing Boots she made. I think they are incredibly beautiful. No messing up there!! And that all put the song "These Boots are Made for Walking" by Nancy Sinatra in my head. 

From Low Carb Zen... 

Here at the Wooden House, we could add---what day is it?, what was it we had for supper last night? where did I put my ______?

Anyway, hope you are keeping your wits about you which is no mean thing these days, and enjoying your pastimes.
