project updates

Here's a reminder photo from this spring of a project in its beginning stages:
And here's what I've finally finished:

This is the only grapevine I actually completed by decorating. The vine is replacing a clock my grandmother gave me as a wedding present. I've left it up for several years, even though we quit replacing the batteries in it (it was taking two double A batteries every three weeks just for the time...the chime in it required one a week!). It's one of the few things she gave me that she actually bought and didn't give me her leftovers or something she made. So it's a treasure, even if it's not really working. The irony is that she would be the first person to tell me to get rid of it if she were here.

AND...our three day old biddie:No sounds from the other eggs yet. They have until Saturday to make a peep or hatch. I'm hoping our little fuzzball gets at least one playmate.
