I seldom see her....its has been about a month since I last saw her. Earlier today, I was outside and happened to look over across the street and there she was. I said something and she set up and looked so I knew it was her. And she started to come. I quick came inside to get some nuts. When I went back out, she was busy on the ground. I called and first she would just came across the street to the sidewalk...took a few nuts from my hand and then went back. I came up and sat on the porch and then she looked like she was interested again...so I called her and here she came. I went and sat on the picnic bench and she hopped up there...even got on the table behind me and would come almost up and smell my hair, but would not take a nut from my hand up there...but did once from the seat part.
Then she got on the ground right in front of me about 10 inches from my feet and sat and ate several...then took off across the street and up the tree. I am so in hopes I get to see her more often...but I am going to have to watch about the cats cause Bubbie is highly interested. And Puss would be too, but she don't go out much.

The clematis has more blooms and still a lot to open...I love having something to watch open up and bloom. I have not taken pics of all the irises and I should or some are going to be gone.

I have got to add borders to this and then it will be done. It went together better than I ever dreamed. But I did pin a lot so the seams/points would meet like they should. I finished to this point last week. today I stopped by the quilt shop to pick up a fabric for the inner border. I already have what I want for the outer border.

Leaving you with a quick little video..
Cute little boogers aren't they. I try to keep the squirrels away as they like to eat my plants / bulbs. I have one here that has the most beautiful silver tips tail. I know Bella would LOVE to play chase with him, but I'd probably never see her again. ;o)
ReplyDeleteYour quilt looks fantastic! Can't wait to see it finished.
Love the video - too cute.
Sounds like you and that squirrel are becoming good friends.
ReplyDeleteAdorable video! Your squirrel is so cute, and very alert looking. I think you may be taming her!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet squirrel and parrot!
ReplyDeleteI love your little squirrel friend! How sweet that she comes when you call her. That quilt is just gorgeous! You are such a talented quilter.
ReplyDeleteWell isn't that a friendly squirrel. She's very photogenic too.
ReplyDeleteThat quilt is just beautiful.
Hello,
ReplyDeleteYour squirrel is friendly, they run away here.
I love the clematis and your beautiful quilt.
Take care, have a happy day!
Rose, I love your quilt. Feeding your friend nuts & it playing with your hair is a riot! That peek-a-boo parrot...gotta love it.
ReplyDeleteCute video. Maybe the squirrel will play peek-a-boo with the neighbourhood cats.
ReplyDeleteI so love my squirrels. Yesterday there was the tiniest one I have ever seen on the ground eating. It shouldn't out of nest I don't think. It wobbled up the tree.
ReplyDeleteMy the clematis is pretty - mine hasn't bloomed yet.
That is amazing about The little squirrel. The video was darling. Your quilt is so beautiful and I look forward to seeing the finished project with the borders, your clematis is loaded with blooms!
ReplyDeletei have always wanted to feed squirrels but with dogs it was to dangerous. this is so heart warming, love little mama.. the quilt is beautiful. will this one stay on this bed? it fits perfectly. what color is the trim?
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet little squirrel, I think you have a new friend. Your quilt is spectacular Rose, you did such a great job on it! Beautiful flowers too. Have a great week. :)
ReplyDeleteCute squirrel and it is getting close to you and trusting you to be a friend. Beautiful clematis. Beautiful quilt. Have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteYou seem to be making a new friend. They are cute but I'm not really a fan of them. They did a lot of damage to our house one time. (Not this house, but one we lived in some years ago)
ReplyDeleteThere are no squirrels in New Zealand - I probably saw some overseas but that was donkey decades ago. But how cute to have one take nuts from you. I know many people do not care for them, because they get into bird feeders and take everything.
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is fabulous - well done...
Your cats would love, chasing her!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have never had the experience of a squirrel eating out of my hand, or smelling my hair. She’s adorable and to have that experience with a small animal, any kind of animal really, is a gift. Your clematis is such a rich, deep color and your quilt? I love your quilts! Loved that video too, thanks Rose.
ReplyDeleteNature is so amazing. What a thrill to have a wild creature trust you so much (I hope the cats will stay away).
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is looking spectacular - good luck with finding the right fabric for the border.

What a gorgeous quilt. Love the pattern and colors. - Your Clematis is beautiful as well and that Squirrel is so cute. I love it when they aren't afraid to take peanuts from us. Some that I feed will take them out of my hand too.
