Thanks to JanMarie for getting the thread started since I

Nature Notes
Debunking Nature
Myths
Do you have any nature myths to share?
Leaves change color because of temperature. Timing is mostly
due to hours of daylight and sometimes moisture. We are having an early fall
due to dryness.

Butterflies…loads of Painted Ladies on zinnias.
Monarch Way Station at Meadow Valley Park—2 acres
Hummingbird nectar…do not use red food coloring.

Mother Bears…stuffing with
left over bits of quilt batting. Susannah made a tutorial for me.

Tip
for printing pattern from a blog: https://www.printfriendly.com/. Copy web address and paste into site and it
converts. You can edit it too! Much better than copy and paste or screen shot.
