Before the snow on one of our nicer days the cowboy noticed a lot of dried grass around one of my car tires—seems the robins thought the top of the tire on the Cadillac might make a nice, sheltered place to build a nest!!! Well—think again bird!! Michael removed all that grass and we drove the car. Yesterday I was out braving the cold wind playing ball with Emmi and noticed the grass again—this time the dumb birds had built the entire nest—have you ever removed a robin’s nest—I chose not to think about what that gunk is which holds that nest together! 
Do you have a FitBit—I wear one on my wrist but I sure question the accuracy at times. Once a week an email appears giving me the weekly stats--
Back in Arizona I wrote about losing my quilting mojo—having no interest in sewing anything. Well, the mojo has come back—I quilted a customer/friend quilt and she picked it up today. She loved it—isn’t that a cool log cabin pattern! I’ve also been working on a small quilt and am going to start longarm quilting some of my own quilt tops—I have quite the stack!
Beautiful day today—Emmi spent lots of time outside. Our spring/summer birds are arriving—we’ve had goldfinches, rosy red finches and one lone lazuli bunting.

Oh...wow!! That log cabin quilt is spectacular...so unusual! And your quilting is wonderful! The Fitbit...yup, I wear one too. I say bring on those steps! The more the merrier! :o)) It's all about calories burned...but also calories IN! There's no reading for that! Darn!

ReplyDeleteYou're rocking those Fitbit steps! The way the calories are calculated in Fitbit, they're total calories for the day not just step calories. So if it says 2000 calories burned, that means total for everything in the last 24 hours (including sleep) the theory then being that if you burn more overall calories than you take over that period in you lose weight. I'm not really a believer in the calorie counter, but there's your answer :)

I believe my Fitbit for number of steps, but can't believe I burn more calories than I take in every day. No evidence that's true! Love the quilt and that your mojo has been restored.
ReplyDeletePoor robins! They, too, were trying to get out of the cold. Strange place to try a second time.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are back to quilting:)
Those are some major steps! Maybe you are big arm swinger:)
