One of the things that happened this week is that I finished my flower scrapbook. Heidi had a great idea for my title page and showed me how to make these cute little flowers. They are just squares of two different sizes with 1 pair of opposite corners rounded and then a little contrast color center.

We’ve had two new birds visiting this week. I saw this white-throated sparrow (without my glasses on) and assumed it was the female rose-breasted grossbeak returning but on taking a closer look at my photo it’s definitely the sparrow. These guys are new to the feeder and I see in my birdbook that fruit is included in their diet so perhaps it’s the new oriole feeder that brought him into the yard. We’ve also seen these orchard orioles a couple of times this week though I haven’t yet seen them on the new feeder.

Yesterday Grace and I drove down to Kathy’s where we all carpooled to the Connecticut Sheep and Wool festival.  We had a great time and I took a slew of pictures. You can see the album on the sidebar. There was even a blogger picnic but unfortunately I didn’t get blog addresses because someone said they might do an e-mail and then that didn’t happen. If I saw you and you’re reading the blog please leave a comment with your blog address-I’ve seen those of Carole, Mamacate and Kathy but I don’t know any of the others. Thanks!
