I Love Thursday #276


 It's Thursday so it's time for some nice likes! Please visit LeeAnna at Not Afraid of Color to link up with more participating blogs. I'm making progress on my Facets quilt. I have to make a total of 20 blue blocks. Although slow, it's so nice to play with my scraps and actually use them!! Each block finishes at 6" square.


I just found out about this app and thought I'd share it. I often hear the birds singing outdoors but I never know what sound is coming from what bird. Well, this app listens to the birds in your area and identifies each bird. So fun! I heard an owl as well as a ruby-throated hummingbird this morning. You can keep a list of what birds have been identified by your phone. This app is very enjoyable!


This turkey mom and her chicks are still hanging around my yard. I watched her fly up into a tree and each baby follow her up there! She seems to have 6 chicks although one looks smaller than the others. They have definitely grown since I first spotted them last week.


I was checking out our little vegetable garden and felt like someone was watching me. I wasn't wrong! See if you can spot Molly keeping an eye on me! I let the cats out on the deck but use a baby gate to keep them from going down the stairs. They're quite happy just sitting out in the sun and catching some fresh air.

Have a wonderful weekend!!! Happy Father's Day to all the dads!

  2. It's amazing how Merlin identifies so many birds at once! Those blocks are smaller than they look - very pretty.

    1. Isn't that app so fun to use?? The blocks aren't huge but it's nice to be using up my stash. Not that it makes much of a dent!

  3. Our pets sure do like to keep an eye on us, Don't they. Love these blocks of yours, so beautiful, Rosemary. And thanks for sharing that Merlin app. It is wonderful and certainly a great learning tool too.
