THIS and THAT

Mother with Fishbowl has been bound and while the eye and brow still bother me it is going to stay as it is, or at least for now with no plans to change it.  And, that shadow at the hairline doesn't look right either.  Oh well, at least it isn't in a tote and residing in the attic.  
Am still enjoying working on Cottage and Apple Tree and the Mary Comstock pattern is in the tote but within eye shot to torture me.

Have you ever seen a black haired squirrel?  A local woman used to mention them when there was a wine tasting and she lives within a half mile of me.  The condition is called melanism so is a genetic mutation.  I finally saw one at the squirrel gathering spot under my birdfeeders.  A few seconds before taking the photo there was another normal colored squirrel in the scene.  I waited for it to return so you could compare but was afraid the black squirrel would get 'squirrely' and leave.   If the black squirrel returns I'll try to capture a better photo of it.
The low humidity and low temps have given rise to devilish hot and steamy weather.  Later this evening a thunderstorm is expected and rain into tomorrow as well. 

Happy hooking or whatever form of entertainment floats your boat.
