More crafts

 So after the last post, this shows how this piece will be mounted on a piece of metal rod in the garden. The bottle will simply be slipped over the rod.  And below, another of the critters that emerged from the quilt.
 This past weekend we went to a State team Pool tournament and although the Mr.'s team did not make it to the finals, the weather was beautiful and they had a good time.  We saw lot's of old friends and were able to do some shopping.  However, the wind began to blow on Saturday and by Sunday as we headed home, we battled 60mph plus winds and blowing dirt.  We though we were in Arizona! Actually one strip of highway in the eastern part of the state was closed for 6 hours. So this is our devil cat Coalette, getting ready to practice some trick shots. We boarded the dogs, but left her home in the care of our friends. The only damage she did this time was to rip up a roll of paper towels at the bar sink and dig around a little in the plant soil looking for small flying bugs.
I love, love, love daylight savings time which we are now enjoying.  Not everyone shares my view, but if you are a gardener...well need I say more?  We will be battling a newcomer to our property though.  The previous owner had pretty much erradicated the destructive rodent-type of critters, but we now have a new little guy, a prairie dog who has moved in. My dad had two as pets actually in our back yard in an enclosure.  He called them "Pete" and "Repeat".  Maybe I will call this little guy "Pete", but he will NOT be a pet and may not stay long.  Sorry!
