It's looking like a gorgeous day outside and it is supposed to get up to 80 today!!
My morning got off to a little bit of a rough start though...6 a.m. and I'm standing at the sink chopping up some fresh veggies for my lunch today. All of a sudden I hear a commotion outside. The sliding door to our patio is just to the left of the sink. I look out and there is Tyg and a Fox! Tyg is snarling and growling; the fox is barking. As soon as I open the door and clap my hands the fox runs off (he was beautiful!!). Tyg does not want to come in - I guess he was defending his castle/turf. But, I picked him up and brought him inside anyway. He did go back out at 6:45 when I left for work.
So...the perfect segue to Fox Forest and TNT. A bit more has been added, two more foxes have joined in the fun, some flowers and a tree. Fletcher thinks the fox in the upper left looks more like a Corgi. I think the one in the upper right looks like a cat curled up. The other two just look a bit mangy to me - lol.
I'm still really enjoying stitching on this. There is one more fox to add (bottom left), another tree, some more flowers and then all the alphabet letters.
Meanwhile, the Hitchhiker has journeyed to work again today. Yesterday there was no break, so no knitting. Today I am hoping to spend a little time putting in a few rows.
Hope your day is off to a great start!
I had the same corgi and cat thoughts! Your sampler is coming along nicely, and I like how the foxes each look different. Maybe you could add Tyg, defending his territory against the foxes!
ReplyDeleteTyg is so gangsta.
ReplyDeleteI really like that all the foxes are different even though they may look a bit like corgis and cats. Can't wait to see it when it's all done (although...No Pressure)!
Tyg clearly envisions himself as a full-blown tiger. Fortunately, the fox went on his merry way.
ReplyDeleteYour needlework is making some good progress!
My Hoover has a regular stand off with our fox too. Your stitched foxes are just darling. I wish the ones in my yard were as sweet!
ReplyDeleteAll hail mighty Tyg!
ReplyDeleteTyg is certainly courageous! The sampler is progressing beautifully.
ReplyDeleteThe sampler is coming along really fast! I love all of the foxes. Brave Tyg! I wouldn't want a stand off with a fox.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have some knitting time today.
Blessings,
Betsy
That fox sampler is much safer than the encounter Tyg had this morning! Yikes!
ReplyDeleteI live near the Fox River in a place known as the Fox Valley, but I've only seen a fox twice in all my years here... once was right outside my back door. They are beautiful, indeed!! Way to take a stand, Tyg (whew)!
ReplyDeleteon man 80!!!! IM so jealous. But we had some seventies on Sunday !
ReplyDeleteI love your fox
Oh, Tyg! I think I'd have a heart attack if my dogs were tussling with fox!!!! (Once JoJo cornered a possum, and that was bad enough.) I've only seen one fox -- and it was up north in the woods near our cottage. :-)
ReplyDeleteI love this sampler and how the foxes all look different!
ReplyDeleteIt seems like once a wee we get a Brave Tyg story!
ReplyDeleteYikes! I'm glad that fox story had a happy ending! ...and the TNT update is really coming along. FWIW, I think all the foxes look like foxes :-)
