I am currently working on a Top Secret quilt project, therefore you must be content with an update about Mountainjoy today versus quilts. The wildlife is returning! This past week has brought us some very special visitors. First of all, the hummingbirds are back. I had a little ruby red-throat sit at my empty feeder the other day. I jumped up and got him some food. I've heard several more hummingbirds in the air but have not been dive-bombed yet.
The moose were here all winter long. It was only 2 days ago that we actually almost hit one with my car. We headed out our driveway (which is a chute and only belongs to us). Suddenly, there was a moose in front of us! My husband was a bit surprised he didn't see it until I reminded we don't normally look for cross-traffic in our own driveway. The moose viewing happened in the evening. The next morning, we had more visitors.
It was 6 in the morning and I was looking at emails waiting for the coffee water to boil. It scared the pants off of me when from right behind, the dog goes off barking like crazy. I looked out the window and didn't see what all the fuss was about. I wanted my coffee. My husband stayed by the windows watching. His patience was rewarded as he got to view a pack of black wolves traveling fast in a long strung-out single file line along the trail the moose followed the evening before. How cool is that? Such majestic creatures they are!
Yesterday morning, I saw a beautiful owl headed back to it's home to sleep the day away. He must have had a long night to going home so late in the morning.
On the smaller creature scale, I have chipmunks and rabbits to spare!
I'm off to do top secret stuff (it's so much fun to say) and you all keep quilting and crafting!
