We are surrounded by black walnut trees (on neighboring properties) and the squirrels fill every conceivable container in my garage with nuts as well as burying them in flower pots and all over the yard. The squirrels are clever but the nuts leave a mess everywhere. <br />Your beautiful quilting leaves me envious.<br />PatMissPathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06807348837446241284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8372716062763623967.post-72966386119142084652018-10-03T22:27:11.687-04:002018-10-03T22:27:11.687-04:00The squirrels never stop planting black walnuts ev...The squirrels never stop planting black walnuts everywhere in our yard and flower beds and lawn. We once had a tree start growing in our eaves trough. <br /> Our daughter was visiting a month ago and later found a nest of acorns inside her engine. Since neither she nor we have any oak trees nearby, it is a mystery indeed.

The squirrels didn't have a chance to get the nuts because our black lab mix dog, Tersa, ate them all. She would hold an entire nut, shell and all, in her mouth and crack it open with her powerful jaws. Then she'd have the funniest look on her face as she used her tongue to pull out the nut meat and spit out two perfectly clean, intact shell halves. I guess that is the dog equivalent of tying a maraschino cherry stem into a knot with your tongue! :)Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06306854459459257368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8372716062763623967.post-75742119579045449362018-09-30T10:30:34.078-04:002018-09-30T10:30:34.078-04:00I had also missed your story of L's quilt.

Now that I've somewhat developed my paper piecing skills I think I'll have to put it on the list.

Well, I do know. My blog reading took a backseat to almost everything this month. But wow, those DrEAMi projects that urgently pull at your heartstrings are overwhelming, aren't they? That quilt looks like the most cuddly hug I've ever seen, just right for a little boy dealing with such major life changes! And it's so special that there are bits and pieces of Brady's life in there, too. (I love your loopy loop quilting in the border.) Well, hey I know that quilt I just scrolled past.
