Several limbs of the beautiful old Kwanzan cherry had to be removed. The backyard is very different now.  The light is harsher and when I go outdoors I feel more exposed.

At least the hickory tree out front is still full. A pair of downy woodpeckers visited yesterday. I don't know who made this giant nest = maybe squirrels?

Some of the day's work. Handspun wool and indigo.

I dyed this piece of hemp/cotton fabric a while ago and was unsatisfied with the pattern so I put it away to wait until I had time to "fix' it. I've realized that it isn't so awful after all so I'll just let it be what it is.

Sometimes it's better to appreciate things as they are.

Some natural colors on silk.
