gifts and work

 nature has been generous with gifts
while i was reading on the porch
i noticed a movement
and a graceful, leggy visitor came along.
i was able to sneak off for the camera,
and caught her on the other side of the house.
this morning's visitor(s)
however, 
were NOT welcome
two little brown bats
playing tag in my bedroom.
up at 3:30, tending to bats.
not fun.
 i have been working
 stitching 
on silk and 
on cotton
 and when i need diversion
 i "knit"
the thing is well over a meter now.

and one more of nature's gifts:
a tiny warrior
who couldn't outrun a car.
