Getting things done

With a view like that from one of my sewing room windows is it any wonder I don't get much done?  I swear I have just been sitting watching birds for the last hour.  Mostly black throated sparrows this morning, but also a few white-breasted nuthatches, goldfinches, house finches, mourning doves, and even a rose-breasted grosbeak.  You can't see it very well but there's a painted birdhouse hanging in the pines and  a sparrow couple are building in it, they are so funny to watch.  Off to the left of the last tree is a platform feeder too.  (While I was typing this I scared off a red squirrel from it.)

 



I did finish up this fabric basket yesterday though. :0) (Sorry for crappy picture - taken with cell in near dark)



Also made the canvas seat and back for this vintage director's chair.  Today I'm hoping to work on one of the quilts.  Maybe I should cover my windows, lol.

My Neighborhood Colors

The bright orange tree in our backyard is tilted, I wonder how many years it will take to fall onto the house.  The bush in the front is a popular spots for birds to land right before jumping to the birdbath or the feeder.  It gets so red this time of year that it nearly looks fake, and it's full of orange/red berries that the birds love!

Looking down my driveway, this is what I'm greeted with across the road.
