They are back! The House Finches that is; plus there are 2 more.
"There are birds flying into your fern, " said Mr. Pinker as he stared out of the living room window.
"What?!" I just watered it. I went outside and took the fern down from the hook and inspected it. No birdies nor nest- all was safe.
The next morning I went out on the porch and there they were- Mr. and Mrs Finch. Seeing that I had moved one fern, they cleverly went to another. Oh well. 😏
I think they have some teenagers. Well the 2 new ones look awfully young. They have been a delight to watch as I sit on the porch in the mornings and stitch away. 
Sometimes the birdies fuss that I have the audacity to sit and watch them so close to the fern, but for the most part they accept my presence. I think I will call the 2 larger ones Frit and Frat. As Frit and Frat have been entertaining me this week, I began a new stitch simply called "Summer" . I hope to have it completed by tomorrow which is officially the 1st day of Summer.
I used the following floss colors: DMC 782, 816, 895, 898, 926, 930, 3346, 3371, and B5200
I am stitching Summer on 14 count coffee / tea dyed Aida.

QUESTIONS FOR MY GARDENING FRIENDS: My Zinnias are starting to get these spots. Do you know why? Is it from too much rain? Do you have any suggestions on how to treat it?
As Always...
Happy Stitching and Quilting, y'all
