On 1 Jan 1976, my mom started quilting a “Bicentennial Quilt.” She finished it on 31 Dec 1976 and left instructions to display it throughout 2026. I will, of course, but I’m working on my own version of a “quilt.” 1/2

Daniel the Spaniel (I love that name!) is a very handsome guy! We had two females. I can't claim they were very well behaved, but I miss them like crazy. Such strong and loving personalities! This pic is from when they were puppies, before they got their feathers.

Christmas shopping for the young ones on my list. I think these will be popular with the one who's already decided she'll be an environmentalist!
The image shows three book covers are from Kate Messner's series called "Over and Under." The books are titled: "Over and Under the Waves" - featuring a blue ocean design with marine elements "Over and Under the Canyon" - featuring an orange/terracotta colored canyon design with small figures and plants "Over and Under the Snow" - featuring a winter forest scene with underground elements visible below the snow All three books are written by Kate Messner with artwork by Christopher Silas Neal. The covers have a consistent artistic style with split designs showing both above and below perspectives of different natural environments. The books appear to be children's educational books about different ecosystems and habitats. The covers feature stylized illustrations in a minimalist, modern design style with text integrated into the artwork. Each book uses a distinct color palette appropriate to its environment: blues for the ocean, warm oranges for the canyon, and cool whites/grays for the snowy scene.
