Design Wall Monday and other musings

I was able to make clue 5 this past week for the Pulsar QAL by Bear Creek. Hooray, I am all caught up! I love the way this is turning out.

Last week we were actually able to turn off the AC units for a few days. But so typical of Fall in Texas we have had to turn them back on, but not having to run them constantly. We have started some Fall cleaning in our flower beds. Galen pulled a couple of dead Mexican Sunflower plants. Still plenty of others blooming. Lots of butterfly activity along with the occasional Hummingbirds feeding on the flowers. We still have 2 feeders out for them s well. Will take them down in another week.

We had not gone out to Thrall in several months, so we took a drive this past Saturday. Nice drive on the back roads but not much flying. The Dragonflies wouldn’t sit or were flying East into the sun. Galen did get a few pictures. The Kestrals are back and we did see a Road Runner. Like I said nice drive but we see more in our backyard! It has been so dry and that doesn’t help. Not even many Grasshoppers and out there we always see a lot. We did wait for someone to get their calf off the road. Found an opening to get out but not back in to the pasture. She got him back in where he belonged.

Galen has been dealing with learning Windows 11. A lot of his old programs don’t work on 11 so he is figuring out what he needs etc. And there is a definite learning curve for the newer Adobe photoshop.

Me I am still going through things here at the house – sorting, pitching, donating or finding a better place here. A lot more is going out the door. And I did get the doggy bandanas mailed off last week. Good to get them out of here.

I am linking up once again with Small Quilts over on Design Wall Monday
