I Like Thursday #68 - Sights, Sounds, and Something Tasty

This was the scene at our house the other day -

I like power tools!  Lol!

I really like this photo that Mike took on Monday, just a short drive from where we live.

A friend had posted on Facebook that she saw these bald eagles on her way to work that morning, so after a message to her to find out where they were, we were off to see them.  Didn't he catch a great shot of the one eagle landing on the branch?!  And the amazing blue sky!  We also realized that the one sitting on the lower branch was "talking" to the one that was landing.  That's the first time I've heard what eagles sound like.

I liked finishing up my heart mini on Sunday afternoon.  It's fun having something festive on my little chest!

A new challenge for Project Quilting was posted on Sunday, so I got right to work.  The theme is called "Bold and Brave" -  "Your project should be about bravery: Try a new technique! Honor someone's courage! Conquer your own fears!"

Here's just a hint of what I've been working on - what could it be?! :)  I've really liked participating in this event.  I think there will be about six challenges altogether.

I liked this new chili recipe that my mom shared with me.  I made it over the weekend.

I did make a couple of changes to it - I used crushed tomatoes instead of tomato sauce, and also added some water to it since I like my chili more like soup.  

And this week I am reading - 

Did you know Tom Hanks is a writer?  It turns out he is, and (I think!) a good one, and I've really enjoyed his first book! It is a book of short stories, and the one thing the stories have in common is every one of them has something about a typewriter.  So, the title, "Uncommon Type."  

Hope you're having a great week!  I'm joining in with all of the I Like Thursday bloggers at Not Afraid of Color - thanks, as always, to LeeAnna for hosting!
