No quilting yesterday

I thought about doing some quilting but after I was finished dyeing, Chris and I went to visit Mom and take her some strawberries. After dinner I just didn't have any mojo for much of anything.

But I do have some photos from around the homestead.

Chris chopped wood 2 days ago and this afternoon he saw a wren building a nest in the pants he left outside.
​

She made a lot of progress in 2 days! We hated to destroy it but at least there weren't eggs yet. They used to build in the propane tank but they see to have abandoned that. One year they tried several times to build in the bumper of my car.
​

The black irises are blooming like crazy this year.
​

We saw the snapping turtle that moves between our pond and a neighbor's pond. It eats some of Chris' fish. He says there's a pair in the neighborhood lake that are 3 times bigger than this one.
​

The baby bluebirds will leave the nest soon!

Today I'll get the veterans quilts loaded and dye some shirts that I tied Tuesday. This evening we are going to go see the finished mosaic. Yay!
