Robins on a Gloomy Day


An experiment in silhouettes. 




There was zero possibility of choosing a favorite in this series of photos.


The beautiful robins were eating Hawthorn Berries for breakfast.


If you'd like to see how loaded my little Fairy Tree was in Autumn . . . 


For anyone who enjoys wildlife, Hawthorn is a wonderful addition to any habitat garden.  It does have large spiny thorns, so mine is planted inside a flower bed at the very edge of our yard near a fence.


The bright orange berries are dwindling as we near the first day of Winter.


A couple more shots of these lovely robins.


What's happening in your back yard?

Have you ever been enjoying a nice, quiet day of crafting, then BAM your jar of ModPodge falls off the table, splatters across the floor, and onto one of your favorite toss blankets?  Well, that happened to me right in the middle of this project.  Talk about a big, sticky mess!  Not to worry, though.  We have hardwood floors.  First, a dish towel was used to mop up most of the glops.  I had the thought to use rug cleaner on the afghan and also sprayed foam across the glue swirls on my floor.  The toss blanket made a round in my washing machine and came out unscathed.  A quick wet mop restored my hardwood floors.  Now, back to my nice quiet day of crafting.

Friendsmas celebrations are such a wonderful way to spend an evening with girlfriends!  The plan for this year's party, besides snacks, is for each person to bring a $10 gift and we will swap.  It's nice to have a small something for everyone, though, so this is what I'm adding to the mix. Fizzy Soaking Salts!
