On Thursday, unbeknownst to me, two turkey vultures had found a dead animal in my yard and settled down to feast upon it. When I opened the door to go outside for my walk, I startled them. One flapped over to a nearby rock, the other to a tree, and then they watched me, waiting for me to leave so that they could get back to their meal. Creepy.
Other animals I’ve noticed recently: chickadees (heard), mourning doves (heard), Mr. and Mrs. Cardinal (seen), toad (seen), mosquitoes (felt, seen, and suffered), carpenter bees (seen and heard), robins (seen and heard), and woodpeckers (seen and heard).
On Friday, my husband and I went to our first papermaking class. After a quick intro, we got right down to the hands-on work, dipping deckles and molds into tubs of fiber-filled (and in one case, stinky) water, then couching the paper onto sheets of Pellon. It was fun. Our sheets of paper are mostly dry now, and some of them even came out good. We’re looking forward to our next class.
