Today we went to the butterfly house. It's the first time so far this year. It was so lovely to sit in the heat and watch all the life fluttering about.

 This big beautiful babies are actually moths. They will be about 8 inches across when they are fully expanded and flying around.

 The quail are used to keep the ant population down, they are such little cuties with a high pitched loud voice. It's hard to believe such a strident sound comes from something so little.

Anyway we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

It hasn't been cold yesterday and today. Not warm enough for me to sit outside yet, and the basement is still cold, but it only takes a few minutes for the heater to take the chill off. I intend to sit at the treadle and get some more Pinwheel blocks made today.

I am well over halfway done with the current quilt I'm quilting upstairs so I took time out to make a green basket which has met with a lot of approval.

It's only 2 weeks before Rose's 1st sale so I will get all my finished projects over to her house this weekend. I hope I have a lot of success this year, I want to save the money for our trip out to Washington in August 2018, it will take a while to save enough. A couple quilts sold would pay the fare for the both of us. No more heart attacks on David's part though, if he knows what is good for him.

Well, to work I've played enough for one day.
