Vultures And Foxglove...

Now that the cold weather has moved in,
I'm returning to 'His eye is on the Sparrow', 
by Beth Twist.

It is dark at 5 p.m.

The evenings are long and chilly

and this has become my 'go to' evening stitch,
with a cup of warm Spiced Chai tea.

I've been working on finishing out

the border, which I had put aside.

(It was more fun stitching all of the 

different small motifs.)

I have the tree of life, 

Adam and Eve and the serpent to complete
 and just a tad bit of border...

then it's time to go on an adventure 

and find a HUGE frame !

(My hoop is 12 inches to give you

a size comparison.)

Today, in our neighborhood, 

I spotted something I have never seen...

A Black Vulture.

They are smaller then a Turkey Vulture

and much more aggressive.

They attack newborn livestock.

I know they are not a farmer's favorite,

but I have to say, they are quite handsome fellows.

(Very 'unlike' the Turkey Vulture.)

It is mid November...

On Thursday -

they are calling for 3-5 inches of snow,

with ice, here in PA.

But for now, I am enjoying 

this unexpected gift - 
a late blooming Foxglove in my garden.

Enjoy your day, needlework friends...
