Summer dip...

Yesterday as we set at the dining room table, Kenneth saw a bird diving into Dusty's pool and then preening himself, over and over he would dive through the water then set on the clothesline pole or the arm of the porch swing and preen and stretch its wings. All the years we've lived here I always thought that the birds would be drawn to the pool, because it always has water in it, but this is the first. It was fun to watch it having such a good time.

Just to add a note:
I came across these vintage cross-stich patterns that are very similar to the ones I am making, so if your interested in doing some cross-stitching this summer...take a look.
