I interrupt this weekly weird bird post to share a perfect day with you!
We had to make a quick trip to the lake yesterday to have our RV fixed by “Bob,” the mobile RV doctor! 😉
It was a beautiful day with temperatures in the 80’s so I thought you might want to tag along with me for some lake time in Northern Idaho…
Priest Lake does look rather inviting with its pristine water but it is still a chilly 60 degrees.
I’d rather sit in a beach chair and enjoy the view, how about you?
The wild roses are in bloom and so Pretty In Pink
I even discovered a bumble bee enjoying them!
The Cottonwood trees were shedding their cottony seeds and it looked a little like snow falling from this brilliant blue sky.
My friend, Marsha showed me her amazing needlepoint she is creating of BIRDS! I can’t wait until she completes all the unique stitches and adds their beaded hats!
I hope you enjoyed this perfect day at the lake with me!
As the sign in our kitchen at home says… “A day at the lake is worth a month in town!”
Cheers! 🙂
P.S. I did see a “gang” of turkeys cross the road on the car ride home… perhaps they will show up in next week’s weird bird Wednesday!

Beautiful Jill, there is nothing better than a water view to sooth the soul! We have a sign that says, Life is better at the beach! Your friend’s beautiful needlepoint birds qualify this post for weird bird Wednesday!

Thank you Jill, I can’t believe how expensive some of the needlepoint canvases are! I really enjoy painting my own and when I stitch, it’s kind of like painting and sometimes I make changes as I stitch. Thanks for looking!

Good morning Jill, a wonderful place to stay during the summer months. And the needlepoint birds are delightful. One of your weird birds would make a perfect needlepoint design.

Hi Julie, I always say that working is highly overrated! Lol! ☺️ My husband continued to work even though he was at the lake… by phone. 😉 But he enjoyed himself too! ☀️⛱

It’s so pretty at the lake! I might have dipped my feet into the chilly water, but that’s about it when the water is that cold.
Your wild roses look wonderful.

Hi Deborah, I probably would have wadded in if the air had been warmer but it was so pleasant I didn’t need to! ⛱ I can’t take the bright sun like I used to which is better probably for my skin! 😎
It is always a treat when the wild roses bloom… they don’t last long so I try to enjoy them as much as I can! 🌸💗

Hi Patty Anne, it was one of those rare days without a lot of wind! ⛱✨ It was so relaxing!! ☺️
I don’t do needlepoint myself so I was very impressed with all the different stitches and of course I loved the birds! 🐦💕
