This is one of many attempts to capture, with a low level phone, one of the clearwing hummingbird moths busy in the butterfly bush near me. Lovely afternoon on the deck. They're there, they are. But you can just enjoy the greenery.
And here's the current collection of applique blocks. We'll see when they're all finished, this is about a third, how they need to be arranged.
Fall is in the offing, still lovely 80° sunny days, less humidity today. My energy, MIA lately, may return
Meanwhile, the puzzle answer is, drumrroll
THATCH!
And while I'm in corny mood
Then, here in the Northern chunk, it's Sunday so I'll observe it
Happy day, everyone, be irreverent, it's more fun.
HA!! Thanks for the laughs :)
ReplyDeleteYer welcome!
DeleteLove both your gags about ducks and Jesus. And your applique blocks are looking great!
ReplyDeleteWondering if they're fodder for your blog too. I can see them in that context.
DeleteThe gags, not the blocks.
DeleteI hope fall will bring back my energy too. So glad to see I'm not alone suffering from summer's heat. It's fun to see your wall hanging, I think it will be a wall hanging, take shape.
ReplyDeleteThe heat knocks the stuffing out of me, more than it used to.
DeleteLordy, me too.

irreverence, yes. nothing is sacred, everything is sacred. fall is just a memory around here.
ReplyDeleteI feel for you, now that we're having such friendly weather, warm, sunny, breezes, moderate humidity. I wish I could ship it.
DeleteYes, two good jokes!
ReplyDeleteLord only knows what our weather is about to be with a hurricane brewing in the gulf. Time will tell.
It's that time of year. Nowadays it's always that time of year.
DeleteThose blocks are looking great. The collection kind of shows off the individuals. If you work out where to find some energy reserves quite a few of us want to be let into the secret.
ReplyDeleteI'll pass it on. It probably involves low humidity and coolness.
DeleteBest "two X walk into a bar" gag ever! And the leaf shapes are coming along so well. We look forward to some of that cooler weather in the coming week. Those clearing moths are so hard to capture on camera, but I can imagine I see them on the buddleia...
ReplyDeleteChris from Boise
That would be 'clearwing'...
DeleteYep, I guessed that.
DeleteMy eyes are so bad I’d never see the birds in the trees.
ReplyDeleteThe blocks are coming along nicely.
We can feel our spring coming. It’s lighter in the mornings now when I head off to swim and it’s getting dark later in the day
We're quite a way from Fall yet, but when the humidity drops you notice.
DeleteCompletely guffawing @ WWJD? I am going to use that one!
ReplyDeleteLoving the blocks, too!
I guess today was worth the price of admission, then?
DeleteThose moths are impressive. I hope you are able to get a picture at some point.
ReplyDeleteDon't hold your breath!
DeleteI'll have to take your word for it on the hummingbird moths, but I DID try! I love the duck joke.
ReplyDeleteIt was pretty hopeless. Even I couldn't find them, and I knew where to look.
DeleteOur temperatures are in the high sixties now. Yay! I wish you cooler days, Boud!
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely on its way. I'm happy in the 80s.
DeleteThank you for the giggle(s). The world needs more of those.
ReplyDeleteYou're progressing at a rapid pace with your leaf project. I'm sure they hold your interest because of all the different colours throughout. Shapes too!
Yes, the interest of designing new blocks goes on.
