 The crow landed on the light post and began talking to me.

Clouds, Ibis, Flowering Bush and Memories: Free Motion Sewing

Dark Clouds are forming. 

 There is always a blue sky hole no matter how cloudy.

 Dark clouds from all sides.

 This little Ibis is a bit different. . . looking for bugs.

 Ibis grazing and. . .

 .  .on the move.

 One of our flowering bushes.

 Memories:  After retiring I took a Free Motion sewing class.

This was the results. I was pretty pleased the first time around

that it had turned out to actually look like a flower.

Janet

Clouds, Sunshine, Starbucks and Memories

 Lots of Clouds and Sunshine

 Yesterday was 'feels like' 90s.

 . . .and do you hear the roar of the lion!

 OK, so 'my' Target has a Starbucks.

Once upon a time, long long ago, I lived in another state.  We had a big house, where my kids grew up.  I drew it (first pic).  On the other side of the garage is a basketball hoop on the tree. Yes, one of my daughters played basketball.  She was #11, I believe.

I was thinking of making it the center of a quilt. I took the pictures (bottom) to print it out on cloth.  There was an acre of land. Trees were the whole back half. At the side I had a garden. . .I canned, froze and we ate well. Ice, Snow, -25 degree temps. . .well, we moved. But the memories of that house and those times are still with me.

Blessings,
Janet

Clouds and Landscape. . . .and . . . ..Memories

Clouds and Sunshine in the East.

 Not sure, but I think they are planning to rumble later today.

 Clouds and blue sky toward the north.

 Two of my backyard trees.

 Poor thing is so Miss-shaped. . . Argh. . .Trimmers!

 New Palm Tree and MY tree. . .

This tree has been around for about 25 years.
It belonged to my late-fiance, Steve.

I have this tree and a potted plant
(wherein I added my plant to his - same species)

Flowers still Bloom from it. It grows new and continues to thrive. . .see below.

Bromeliad . . it has been a beautiful plant all these 25 years

 The Pelican has Aloe in it and was given to me by my daughter Debra.

Blessings,
Janet
