Like Putting a Puzzle Together

I love antique rugs because of their seasoned wear and stories they could tell.  Replicating them, to me, is like putting the pieces of a puzzle together.  Presently I'm working on the antique adaptation named Potted Plant and no, it's still not finished.  Here is what it looks like now.

And these are the puzzle pieces I'm selecting from.  Yeah, I know, it looks like a pile of mess but using the worms makes it look more aged.

This morning while making coffee I noticed something big on my shed roof.  It was bigger than a bird and bigger than a squirrel.  So went to look out my bedroom window and noticed it was a pair of Bald Eagles.  WOW!!!  I've seen lone eagles fly above the meadow area while walking but never in my yard.  Since there were two I'm wondering if they have a  nest nearby.  

Sorry the photo is so poor but it was being taken with a digital camera thru a window and a couple screens and of course as life would have it, with the wrong setting.  Was afraid to go outside to get a better photo because I just knew they would fly away.

It is hot hot hot and humid for the 4th day in a row.  Supposedly there may be a thunderstorm later this afternoon so perhaps that will cool things down.  Sure hope lightening doesn't strike twice in the same place again.
