Saddle Blanket and Birds!!!!

Went over the mountain on monday and tuesday of this last week...Here is the Great Meadow, still under a little snow....but it's thawing out!!!! There were a few Canada Geese, some ducks, an Eagle and a few song birds.

So I went over to weave off this saddle blanket from my loom. It has been on there since September of last year. I just couldn't get excited about finishing it. I had to retie the apron steel rod to the front beam, because it was weaving up really uneven...

once I got that done, I flew to the finish!

Here is the view I see when I leave the cabin each time....

well if it's a clear day!!! Isn't it beautiful?



Here is the saddle blanket finished. I brought it home, twisted the fringe, cut off all the stray yarn pieces from the back, washed it and dried it in the sun....need to try it on the crazy horse (Buddy)this weekend maybe....but only if he stands for a bath~~

Here are a horse and a mule that I watched one evening from the deck of the cabin....

they were running and came down to the river to drink.



A Lazuli Bunting that I caught a picture of at the bird feeder at home!!! Isn't he so lovely?


A Black headed Grosbeak...Hey!!! All the birds are returning! It's Springtime!!!!!
