canaries


Rosey P - those yellow birds are most likely Goldfinches

The males are an olive greenish yellow in winter, and their colors get very bright by this time of year for mating attraction. They're one of my favorite birds to feed and watch.

New carpet got installed today, and I hope the guy who does the runner on the stairs can come tomorrow. I hate having the house all topsy turvy and will spend tomorrow putting a lot of it back in order. I've been moving stuff for over a week, vacuuming all evening with the upright, and am exhausted. Tomorrow I'll go along the baseboards with the canister vac and pick up the bits & pieces of carpet. It was interesting to see what the original color of the old carpet looked like, when closet bits came out. They had not faded from sunlight. Quite a difference!

Family room will still be 'torn up' because painters come next week to change the color. This, too, shall pass.

Have any of you seen the ads for the new Janome Horizon 7700? It has 11 inches of free space under the arm, for FMQing. Wow! I am sorely tempted.....

Hugs to everyone!
