Time Scratched

A muddle of a week

Old Man Winter loosened his hold for just one day

A handsome but, oh so stinky critter

thought he might move in under my studio

making me a very unhappy camper!

Of course Old Man Winter returned

and on Thursday at quilt Guild

we made prayer flags for one of us

Handy Hubby suggested I couldn't just do snow, snow and more snow!

So I made circles but couldn't resist filling them with snowflakes

As the snow still fell on Saturday

a Merlin swooped down and captured a starling.

When we first arrived here we would be shocked

and try to scare off the hawks or falcons

but now we know they too need to eat

and winter is very hard on them.

Studio got a cleaning

so scraps from the cutting room floor

found a home here.
