Morning Momentum

Steve and I dont think that bird in the previous post is a dove. Not a pigeon either. Looks like one, but honest….. it’s at least twice the size of a normal mourning dove. We have lots of mourning doves. They live in our Blue Spruce tree. We see them and hear them daily.
The bird [...]

A young hawk? A young kestrel? Other guesses? Educated answers?

And here is my OBW [...]

I finished the raffle quilt yesterday. Someone else has to bind it, so these pictures are from when the quilt was hot off the machine.
Lousy pictures…. and I hadnt even been drinking. Oh, I dont drink. I must have had tremors or something. Sorry.

No, not THAT kind of street walking.
I have been trying to get out and walk a few times a week since our road is no longer covered in 3 inches of ice. It isnt a very exciting walk, and I can only go about a half mile, but I have been finding it enjoyable.
