What am I feeding here?
If you build it will they come?
Tim ordered and installed a hummingbird feeder recommended by his brother, Lee, and within hours he had attracted hummingbirds. They flit around even though the cats are perched on the windowsills inside watching closely. They are so fast, neither cat has a chance of catching them.
I wonder what would happen if we built a leanto?
They drink a boiled mixture of 1/4 cup sugar to 1 cup of water, hold the red dye No 5

Missing the view
I am on Long Island to meet up with old friends and Cooper. He just completed his first year of law school!! Chelsea finishes her junior year of engineering next week (I can’t mention one without the other, very competitive) and I am so proud of both of them. I think Chelsea sleeps a lot less than Cooper because she always seems to be pulling all nighters. It’s all about choices.
When I moved to the Adirondacks, I thought I might have a hard time being off island and away from the water. Instead, I thoroughly enjoy our view of the mountains. I love to look at them from afar, while Tim likes to”do” them.

Stealthy Shirley
She’s hiding behind a bush near both bird feeders trying to blend into the scenery.

Nice scenery when I had to catch my breath.

Beauty
We pass this big guy on the road and I’ve wanted to take his picture. We stopped the car and he trotted right over to the car and posed.
Imagine our house between the evergreens
Hiking nearby
We went for a hike up the closest hill near our house with a marked trail, Blueberry Cobbles. Wildflowers were out and we saw trillium, columbine, ferns, violets, strawberry plants and lots of blueberry bushes.
We could see our house nestled in the woods from one of the viewpoints. A good time was had by all.

Shirley and quilt
Loki, oblivious
I have almost finished my first (sort of) quilt
With the moral support of Shirley, Loki and Tim, I’ve been sewing madly. I’m pretty happy for an almost first effort. I just need to stitch around the whole thing about 3 more times and tidy up all the loose ends. My last (and first) was completed about 35 years ago and I no longer own it. I’m already planning my next project and I want to use scraps of fabric and hand sew it. Know anyone with scraps?
Good sky day
I ran errands today and marveled at the clouds while I intermittently got caught in the rain. This is the Ausable River in Jay, NY. After this stop, I went and visited some alpacas and bought an alpaca fleece at the chiropractor’s office. Yes that’s right.
