One early morning as my Dad and I hoed one of the fields my Dad goes Psst Dawn look over there
It was a silver fox
I thought as a kid it was someone's dog at first
But nope
A beautiful fox
He was very aware we were there
Probably because of his coloring
Not sure if it would be a plus or a negative for him but he sure was pretty
Speaking of the farm does anyone save seeds like me?
I know a packet is so inexpensive BUT.......
the seed you buy is usually treated with chemicals
I like to plant how nature intended
Naturally
One of my young nieces made me proud
She has h er herbs and a flower for tea seeded in the house
She even made a greenhouse effect using seran wrap
AND GET THIS.........
SHE WANTED ME TO TEACH HER TO KNIT
of course I did and she is practicing her knit and purl and cast on
I was in Heaven
My daughter was never interested
Neither is my granddaughter
My niece says crochet is next
Be still my ❤ as I enjoy the wonders around us
If we look hard even on bad days we will surely see a gift from God
That pretty sunrise
The deer that stopped to say hi
A silver fox
The bunny that crosses your path
All gifts
All beautiful
All good for the soul
Have you seen a silver fox?
And no Julierose I don't mean Thom

Ho ho--that he is (**)
ReplyDeleteOnly red foxes around here--but they are really beautiful and they trot along so purposefully--always on their way somewhere...
When my husband was practicing marching with his Middle School Band before the Memorial Day parade, they were our behind the school and a pair of foxes trotted out right in front of them...
the kids were amazed--some didn't even know WHAT it was ["Oooh, is it a wolf?? EEEK] Did they ever play outdoors, I wonder?
Love your silver fox--beautiful block, Dawn...
hugs, Julierose
The fox block is going to be a nice addition to the farm quilt. I've never seen a silver fox but we had a family of red ones living in the empty lot next to our old house.
ReplyDeleteIt must be nice to have your niece interested in crafting with you. My daughter has hobbies but nothing in common with me.
I have never seen a silver fox. I wonder if they are regional. Just red ones here.
ReplyDeleteI had never seen a red fox until I moved to Michigan, the first one I spied was actually in downtown Detroit near an old industrial area.
ReplyDelete🦊 I've only saw red foxes & they're rarely seen around here. They are sneaky! 🦊 That's great you are teaching your niece to knit! Awesome! 🧶🪡 🦊 Your fox block is very pretty!! Great fabric you made him with! 🦊
