Happy New Year and En Provence Clue 6

After my daughter and her boyfriend and our beautiful grandsons have driven away this morning, heading home, until next time I spend New Years Eve sewing away with Bonnie Hunters Mystery Quilt part 6..... I feel so proud of myself for keeping up with each clue.... I can't wait for the final layout. It is very intriguing.
I did use this tutorial for a bit of help with these quarter square triangles. I am a visual person. There are a lot of tutorials out there. This one actually showed it in the same colour layout as Bonnies. It was easier for me to follow.

The wildlife we have here.

It has been an interesting time at our house recently.
We had our front hedge cut down and it looks really bare now. BUT we have discovered some birds nests... 2 infact. There is one hidden in a tree and another in the lavender bush. They are little black birds with an orange beak. I haven't been able to get a photo of the mums....

Look at these little baby birds. Waiting to be fed. Their nest is in the lavender bush...

Day 2. These 2 have now grown a few feathers. 

2 little blue eggs in the nest hiding in their tree...

Our daughters Guinea Pigs came for a visit
