Quilts, Rabbits, and Lynx

I finished making a beautiful scrap quilt for my oldest. I machine stippled it.

It's a summer quilt with only an old flannel quilt in place of the batting. This gives it the weight but not the loft. These quilts tend to be cool feeling in the summer and are great as added weight on top of blankets in the winter.

I wish I could post a pic, but alas, the camera is broken and we have no replacement yet. : ( All in good time.

My large garden is growing (and so are the weeds). The farmers have started their first haying in the back field (just when I thought allergy season was dying off....)

My daughter and my husband (her dad) are in the midst of building a rabbit pen. These have to be partially underground to prevent them from digging out (or from predators digging in). I hope the foxes across the road move on.

We heard a lynx next door to us one evening a couple weeks ago. Sounded like a couple cats fighting, but when I got on the deck, I realized that it was only one voice...and it was deeper and bigger than a mere housecat.-- http://www.junglewalk.com/sound/lynx-sounds.htm
