Sorry, no quilting and no doberman

For my first post I don't have a photo of a doberman or quilting - or a doberman quilting; but I am sure I will soon change that. Instead, I have a photo of an elk that likes to come up to my window and eat the tree right in front of my house. Had my cats not been staring at her; I am not sure I would have seen her (because it was about 5am and I was sleepy - normally I would notice something this large). My brave doberman was sleeping under his quilt and never told me she was there.

I recently saw a friend from junior high who has encouraged me to start a blog so I can also share my knitting and quilting...but you can plan on several animals to show up as well and whatever else I feel like talking about.
