I sewed, mowed and ripped

I never did get the word stamping done yesterday. I was distracted by about 8 different things.

One of those distractions were a couple turkey buzzards sitting up on the silo.
I wondered how close I could get to them. They watched me walk to the shed. I had the phone camera out in front of me. They were still specks of black (on the camera) as I looked out one of the windows at them.

I took one step at a time to get closer. Sure enough one took off.....
It circled around the silo....
I could see their red heads....
I took a few more slow steps.... That was close enough, the second one took off. My encyclopedia says they often vomit if disturbed....
I don't think either of these did that.....


Since they never came back, they must have been resting.
We are in the clear for any dead animals lying around waiting to be turkey buzzard lunch.

What I did sew yesterday was taken apart last night. It didn't speak to me.... at least nothing happy, more like a low moan of agony....
The taken apart pieces are already re sewn and I now have one top ready for quilting.
I am in the middle of the second one....
...but I need to finish mowing this afternoon........I ran out of gas about 4 feet from making it into the shed and then we had a quick rain shower pass by.
