Feeling a little like autumn this afternoon

Hooray! We finally got a cool front, so we no longer have the 90degree heat. We are all sick and tired of the heat. We'll complain about the cold, too, this winter, but some experts are predicting a warm winter. Time will tell.

JANE IN NC - Your friend is right bout the birds being hungry. Except for acorns, there is nothing else for the squirrels...not that I like them. Our walnut, pecans, apple, crabapple, etc. trees all bore no fruit from the Easter weekend freeze that killed all the blossoms & leaves. We're lucky they're still alive despite the drought.
I put out a good plastic goldfinch feeder in August and the squirrels chewed a hole in it the size of a dime for Niger (thistle) seed. They're not supposed to even like that stuff, but the guy at Wild Birds Unltd. said right now they're so hungry they'll eat anything. No doubt they're loving my compost pile.

You're smart to preserve your well by conserving water. Some homes here on wells ran dry this summer! I saw on the news tonight that Alexander City, Alabama has run dry and has no water for the residents. This drought is serious and I am grateful for every spare drop we get, when we get it. The weather folks have quit telling us how far behind we are. I think they've given up. :-o

SARA in FL - we wish we could have some of your rain!

Back to working on a wall quilt for our son's Christmas present .....

Hugs to everyone,
