She comes running, almost

 She came again this morn...such a sweet little mother.

She even sat in my lap a couple times.  I talk to her constantly when she is with me.  To get her familiar with my voice.  I think she already knows it, though.

I have not been accomplishing very much at all this week.  I did go to a small quilt show in Arthur, Illinois yesterday.  I am not sure how may quilts were on display...I would think around a hundred.  there were some beauties, but the place the show is held in has to have the rows so close together, one cannot stand back and get a good photo.

Below is a portion of one of my favorites...

The above is really a simple quilt to mke, but the arrangement of colors make it look harder than it is.  Though on second thought, my brain would probably explode trying to keep the colors where they should go.

and the above was a faorite, too.  There were several that I loved...just could not get good pics.

 Just a couple views of

She is growing like a weed...almost.

While I am at it, I might as well show Copper....he is enjoying his life.  My daughter also gets pics of some of his siblings...they seem to have landed in good homes, too.   Even if I had the photos, I would not feel free to show since they are not mine.  But wish you could see them all.  Below he was so tire he just had to snooze a while.

And below he is sitting on his mom's legs while leaning against the couch...he is a bit peeved that she is reading instead of playing with him.

It is a rainy day here.  Or should I say a day of sprinkles.  I think if it is going to rain, it is supposed to come in the afternoon.  

I am wondering if spring is ever going to get here all the way.  I am afraid it will basically skip spring and go into the heat of summer.

I have shown this before but still love it and hoping someone else will enjoy it...

New kid on the block...pardon the photo overload.

 Isn't she adorable?

The photos are in order, except for the very first one...it should be last.  But these are just a few of the ones I took.

Above is not good technically but I was sitting on the porch , she was on the first step down reaching up trying to find another snack.  She is not still a second unless she has something to eat.

I have the one above scheduled to post over my other blog as well as here.

I have not decided on a name.

So, I have fed her 3 or 4 times in the past few months.  I try to keep pecans available.  I know she loves them.  The first thing I do when I go outside is look for a squirrel...if I see one I try to decide if it is her.  If I think it might be her, I yell "Little Squirrely!"  Not loud loud, but  just a shade above a talking voice.  If it is her she sits up and takes notice.

So I came home from shopping today.  I scan the area for her when I get home and don't see her or any squirrel for that matter.  I  carried in 3 or 4 loads, and was going back to the car to get the last and all of a sudden I realize she is in and around my feet...and she starts to take off.  I have no idea how long she had been there, or where she came from.  I had nuts in the car, for her, in case we get home and she is here.  I get a couple, call her, and give her one or two...she is sitting there eating, looking towards the house.  My back is to the house.  It is windy and she is nervous at strange sounds.  Then she just takes off across the street and up a tree.  I look back and Roger had came out the door...

So I finished getting things in and put away, and just went out back to sit and see if she will come.  I could not see her at all.  But I yell for her, and just sit and keep watching...finally I see a movement...it is her coming down the tree. and she comes running and we visit at least 20 minutes....I am so thrilled.  I am wondering if she is pregnant...I have no idea where she considers home.

When Mama Squirrel started coming here, she had her babies in our tree every year...most years she had a litter in spring and one in the early fall.

Roger had blood drawn about 10 days ago, and we went yesterday to get the results.  His A1c was back down within normal range.  He was no longer anemic, and also his magnesium level was back up within the normal range.  So all that was good.  But we had a long wait, plus when we see her, she really sits and asks questions and examines him.  

I don't know if that was it or what, but Roger did not feel good this entire day.  Till along about 9:00.  He said he was starting to feel normal.    It is hard when he feels bad or has this certain look in his face.  But I am getting better at telling myself we all have days we don't feel good, or just don't feel normal.

That is it for tonight...no video or anything.
