I hook rugs, I knit and I have a life - not always in that order. Hooking rugs in the traditional way is a passion. Knitting is a way of keeping those idle hands busy. In my life, I am a mother, partner, sister,aunt, friend and a happy grammy. I work with volunteers and seniors when I'm not doing those other things. I enjoy being creative - and often reinvent the wheel. Above all, I value things that are not only beautiful but useful.

Ruby Tuesday
It must be fall...
the flocks of robins are back to chow down on the tasty red berries of the mountain ash. It took only one day for almost all the berries to be gone. This robin is working the clean-up crew, I think.
A tasty treat for the feathered friends. I know the feeling as we have a mulberry tree in our front yard, and for a 3 week period in the summer, birds and squirrels invade the tree for the fruit, and we humans are happy all were satisfied!
Berries! they are ruby enough for me! :)
ReplyDeleteNice entry!Have a nice day! :)

ReplyDeleteIt tickles me to see the robins eat mountain ash berries. They haven't been on my tree yet. I guess mine haven't fermented yet. :)
