Over the summer I took several juvenile barn owls down to Second Chance Wildlife Rehabilitation Center in Price, Utah. Today one of them came full circle in that I was able to pick it up and release it at the Salt Lake City Cemetery. It came from the Lee Kay Gun Range in West Valley City so releasing it here was a good choice and a hopeful boost to the genetic diversity of the local barn owl population. 

I have finished Block 4 in the 2018 Christmas Countdown challenge from AQS! So far I have kept up and I’m doing blocks from the three previous years so that by December 25th, I have 100 blocks done and a quilt top almost finished. All in Red and White fabrics which is a first for me. I’ve done a blue and white as a wedding quilt years ago but it’s been a long time since I worked only in two colors. I am looking forward to putting it into a show once I get it done! 

Winter has set in this week and our sky is looking smoggy but it does make for interesting sunset pictures.  Hopefully we’ll get another storm that will clear out the pollution. We live in a fishbowl and during the winter it gets so bad we have red burn days which mean the air is so unhealthy we are supposed to stay inside. 

Time to get back to quilting!!
