Hallelujah!

I was gone for 2 weeks, teaching in Tennessee and North Carolina. When I returned home, I had 2 weeks to finish filming and editing my second online summer workshop with Artful Gathering. I knew I could do it, but I didn't anticipate all the technical issues with camcorders, tripods, computer issues etc. Arggggggg, i'm ready to shoot myself! But finally, I am done! Here is a little promotional video of my second session class on soldering. Now unfortunately  I have no excuses why I don't have time to clean my house :(

3. This weeks word is .....his

first baby bird of the season!

I was just sitting at the kitchen table when i heard a loud "thud" and knew immediately a bird had hit the window. Went out and scooped him up and realized he was just a bitty baby :(

(i suspect he is an eastern goldfinch, our state bird, NJ)

I wrapped him in my scarf and brought him inside; occasionally blowing warm air into his face. He took a hard hit and his eyes were closed for a few. I keep this little insect container around for just instances and placed him inside as he started to come around. About 20 minutes later, I felt he was ready to do the flight check. 

off he flew! he is so cute. i've been here since 1995 and have never seen a goldfinch baby :)

he's still hanging out in the same spot. guess that's where he will spend the night. i'll check on my boy in the morning. 

blog hop continues!
