What's New?

My migration from Nova Scotia to TX was successful and relatively uneventful, but it has taken some time for my mojo to return.
While en route, I joined my little sister and brother-in-law in the search for a rare bird spotted in Maine. We had success! #328 on my life list.

Meet the Townsend's Solitaire,

a member of the thrush family, and

the only solitaire native to America north of Mexico.

As you can see from this map,

he was a long, long way from home!!

I think this snowy, cold environment

was a little more than he bargained for!

I concur,

but it's not much warmer down here in TX at the moment!

What else is new?

There's a new blog hop coming to town,

and I'm very proud to be a part of it.

I hope you'll join us.
To view the full schedule,
visit Pat at
Life in the Scrapatch

and you will see that
I'll be keeping company with some
pretty fantastic quilter/bloggers
to support women worldwide
who are battling breast cancer.

A big thank you to Madam Samm
at  Sew We Quilt,
and to Pat for being our wonderful cheerleader.

Welcome to 2015!
