Eye Candy

I finished spinning this stuff last night and my legs were vibrating when I finished loading the plied bobbin on the Rose. 7.2 ounces of yummalicious BFL that, after looking at it today, in the skein, decided that it needed to be called High Desert. I think that it is a perfect name.

Now then, I don't know if you have noticed the cute little button over there on the left, the one that says something about a NEWSLETTER. Mmm-hmmm. People have been signing up for my mailing list forever and I have dilly-dallied around with email notes every once in awhile. Welllll, the other day, Holly helped me to create this awesome newsletter with pictures and links and everything! Whoopee! If you would like to be kept up to date once in awhile about the new stuff or sales or incentives or anything like that, just click on that button over there and sign up! The gist of the newsletter was that we are excited about being here for a year this month and in honor of that, I am offering free shipping to the states and discounted shipping out of the country...IF you use the magic word, "Anniversary1" in the comments box when you order this month.

One last thing. Remember the passel of wild turkeys that hung around this winter? I call them The Daters because they were group dating before the gobblers started to show off. Well, one of the girls got knocked up :o) and brought her four cute little babies down to the feeding station tonight. Oh my word, they are the cutest little things! They can FLY already...too cool. Mama brought them right up to the back porch and with the open window, I got to congratulate her on her progeny. They hung out for about 20 minutes and ambled off. This is the third bird type to return to us with their babies. Last year, a couple of magnificent grossbeaks came to the feeder for awhile last summer and then disappeared. We also had little junco's all winter and within the past week there have been oodles of both types of birds bringing their babes to the back yard. It thrills me to no end because the land was pretty much bereft of birds last summer. NOW, we have the trees alive with song and are saluted by the hummers and robins and goldfinches. What I worried about, having no birds come out of the canopy, turned out to be silly. I have begun to build a garden and they are coming down to investigate. Thanks to Mother Nature for a magnificent show. It's all that I could have hoped for.

Having plantings, and berries, and nectar bearing flowers, plus seed feeders really brings out the denizens!
