Sonic Boom

The shuttle landed today.

What that means to me is that around 3:30 it sounded like a bomb went off or maybe thunder. Needless to say it upset my babies something fierce. Usually there is one or maybe two booms as it goes over. Enough to wake the dogs up and get them all barking. Well today I'm not sure why but, there were the two usual booms and it sounded like rolling thunder after that, the windows were rattling, the door shook, etc. Took me a few seconds to realize it was the shuttle and then it took several minutes to convince the dogs that there was no one they needed to kill. All four were on high alert. Even D was headed for the door. I'm so glad I learned to pay attention to those kind of things. One morning the shuttle landed quite early around 7 AM. I was sleeping and heard the boom. I bolted out of bed and went looking for the smoke from the bomb I was positive I'd heard. Maybe it was an accident right in front of the house. That time it took me most of the day to figure out what had happened. After that I pay attention to NASA.

Feeders

Well since that post I've had to put up a second feeder. I was filling the one up twice a day. The second one only holds sunflower seeds. I thought it would go faster, as they all seem to dig for the sunflower seeds. But I was wrong. So now I fill my regular feeder at least every other day and the sunflower feeder once a week.

As you can clearly see they are both quite popular.

That being said, I joined the Fiber Guild last Saturday. This was the second meeting I went to. The first they were teaching crochet. I'll have to take pics of a few of the projects I've finished. Needless to say I already know how to crochet so at that one I didn't learn much. Although I did learn how to roll a ball of yarn so that the yarn is pulled from the inside out. That way the ball isn't rolling all over the place. But if you use a yarn caddy it isn't a problem anyway. This month we made cloak pins. Which was fun. Here is my finished product.

I suppose I could have sanded a bit longer and made the circle very smooth, but I wanted to use it in my hair and a smooth one with that large a hole would soon be lost. I like the rustic look anyway.
