A Flower Surprise!
Imagine my surprise when I got out of the car and they were NOT black-eyed Susans ---can you tell what they are?
If you guessed Coreopsis, you're right! They are native to Florida and actually called Lanceleaf Tickseed. There is a very wide right-of-way along the side of the road and it was just full of Coreopsis and Phlox (the purple) but as we drove near our little town, they were mowing it all down! It is a very misplaced lawn, in my opinion. How sad not to see the flowers all the way down our right-of-way until there were homes and sidewalks at least!!
I did attempt a little knitting today straight needles and my left pointer sticking out straight I used I second in command and was able to knit! Now granted, that handed fatigue pretty quickly but even so I was able to enjoy some knitting!

I was able to find on my computer the voice to text feature to save some time on typing since I can't feel around the bandage on my left hand, but I think it makes just as many mistakes as I would with my impairment excavated shun point hello L---see what I mean---that was me saying, exclamation point lol

BlueBird House #2
Tuesday, April 20, 2021
For the Birds!
Since I was in town yesterday for the eye appt and lab work,
I stopped in to Home Dept and purchased a single picket to see if I liked making a bluebird house.
I did like it-even more than I had hoped!
BTW, I need to remember to back the car out of the garage
the next time I use the saw!
I managed to follow directions and cut my pieces to size.It was so much easier to follow directions for the angles with this saw than trying to figure it out on my own when making the decorative birdhouse!
and wished I had bought TWO pickets!
I will be putting the bluebird houses up in pairs near the gopher tortoise holes so I will begin to attract the birds to the houses but I can still see them from my house!

Catching Up!
As soon as I finished, I went to work on the Dakota Inspired QOV--I somehow read the instructions wrong for the red/white hst's I guess, because I didn't have enough to make all of the blocks. I didn't whine; I got right to work making some more!
I began the layout as instructed on clue 7; I will catch up by Wednesday, I hope!
Today, I will be crocheting a new afghan! Pics tomorrow!
