Of Stitchings and Log Piles


If it is Monday
it must be time for another crumb from the cutting room floor.
Couched circles and a darned cross.


This year's twenty second Week I believe.


The Pileated Woodpecker
thought he might find a breakfast of grubs on the wood pile


He pecked away on top of the pile
but unbeknownst to him
he was pounding on the roof of a family of squirrels
 who live within the wood pile.


All he succeeded in doing was bringing the two babies
up to find out what all the racket was about.

  3. oh my, what serendipity, Penny ... you are not going to believe the similarity of this to one of my weekly May bead sketches. I won't be posting them for quite a few days yet (am running dreadfully behind due to spring) but you'll recognize the one when you see it - has a couched circle in the center & one of the rectangles of cloth has a thick frayed edge. Maybe if we are not 'great minds thinking alike' at least we might be creative minds on a similar universal wave length???! Anyhow, is lovely and I'm enjoying your weekly posts immensely!
