life is funny......

life is funny sometimes and things happen for a reason. I have been working on a patio table - mosaicing it - I gathered a bunch of clear embossed glass and really liked the pattern on one of them and thought it would make a great rubber stamp. I brought the glass inside to make a rubbing of it and transfer the image to the rubber. The house phone rings, I go into the kitchen to answer and tell the twit that "No, I don't want their service and they need to take me off their call list" and I am standing by the kitchen window when something moves outside and I see a bird caught in a spider web. It is a bush tit and it's tail feathers are surrounded by the spider web. I was able to bring him into the house and carefully remove the web and let him go outside. Off he flew making that little bush tit sound they make. So if I hadn't seen the image in the glass and come in the house to transfer it, I wouldn't have been in the house at the time the phone rang and I wouldn't have seen the bird and been able to save it.
