I have a mouth that remembers if there is a final bite of some food or other left on a plate and usually can't wait to get back to it. Is there a name for that? Am I the only one with a mouth like that??? That idea along with other equally silly ones just occurred to me today.
I don't think I'm crazy but with mostly just the two of us here it might take a little while before crazy would get noticed.
Stranger News
I had many of you concerned about the stranger tracks on our property. As it happened on Thursday as I was unloading the groceries from the car, this man stepped out of the woods and called to me. He is our mysterious walker and had wanted to ask permission to cross our property but our barking dogs had scared him off.
We wound up having a good chat and it was just as I'd thought. He is in his early 80's with heart and respiratory problems who as he put it "is walking for his life". He lives in a house backing the property behind us and though he knew the elderly couple, had never once availed of their trail for walking till now. Our laneway provides a perfect circular route for him so of course, I said yes to his question about him using it. So I know his name and his address and I guess that doesn't make him a stranger any more. I hope it is not too late for the walking to help.
Through my kitchen window...
I also had another stranger...this one a feathered fellow. The squirrels have been overtaking the feeders and getting a little worrisome actually. I watched the black, gray and small red ones all vying for their turns Friday morning. Glancing out a little later, they had all disappeared. Searching about I spied why. Sitting in the tree above the feeders was this fellow...
He kept looking up and I wondered why.
After sitting for a bit, he too disappeared and the second he was gone, down the tree trunk came two of the squirrels. We were surprised they would be up the same tree where he was but perhaps they knew he couldn't get at them if they hugged the trunk. I don't know.

My slow stitching today is a little bit fancier than what I've been doing lately.
I thought to take part in the Crazy Quilt Journal Project 2018 this year. Another monthly undertaking. I've been mulling over what I would make and if I wanted to do a theme for the year, that sort of mulling. In the end with the January deadline in sight, I decided to jump in with a fan design and just get on with it.
Here are my efforts so far and it has been very enjoyable for me to suit myself with the stitches I'm choosing. It is hard to capture true colours this very bright Sunday morning.
I appreciate so much visiting your blogs and reading about your stitching and also tid bits about the ups and downs of your life. We all identify and never forget, these are the ties that bind.
I also appreciate these ties...Kathy's Quilts, Our World Tuesday, Bambi's Show and Tell, Small Quilts and Doll Quilts, Wild Bird Wednesday and Stitch All the Things.
