Family squabbles…

Not my family squabbles though, my family is blessedly free from squabbles.  Nope, this was the bluebirds having an issue over something yesterday.  I myself have been laying low, trying to finish a sewing project that I knew before I even started it that it would drive me nuts before I finished it, and I was right.  And while I was home sewing I figured I could make a pot of turkey soup, after all I was home., but that’s a mess all it’s own with no counter space or dishwasher.  And I’d been reading a book that had lots of old recipes in it, one of which was pop-overs, and I remembered we’d made pop-overs in junior high school home ec class, and they were good!  So I looked in my old Fanny Farmer cookbook and made those too, only they didn’t pop over!  Add glancing out the window as I work and noticing the bluebirds are back, so I pick up the camera which I’ve left at the ready, but I’m just in time for one bird to kick the other one out the door, so to speak.  these are my first pictures from yesterday, finishing with the feature photo, and then the one alone, but only for a moment, and they both were gone.

I’m in a frenzy to finish the sewing project so I can clean this tiny place up because my dearest friend is coming soon.  I don’t have to clean for her of course, but this little place is cute when it’s cleaned up, and besides, she might want to sit down and not sit on a pin cushion, which I did the other day.  Life will be perfect next week when this place is put back together and I will be taking my friend to visit the eagles, and owls, and sunsets galore!  Probably not sunrises though, because I am happy on my own in my little house, but it will be such a treat to enjoy my morning coffee with a friend…
