A Juvenile Northern Flicker and I named this one for his obvious outcropping of white feathers. His two siblings have no such markings...He is sunning and preening in this instance....
This is my first flickr picture and it is work in progress :-) . Since some days I'm stitching together some vintage fabrics to cover a wall in the living room.

Nothing like a autumn walk through the pumpkin patch :) Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving weekend.

This shot is unusual as it was taken midday. Most activity for almost any mammal is around dawn and dusk.
In these here parts, this time of year, skies spend almost all of their time grey or rainy or both. But a brief interlude to the damp gloom this week drew me downtown to try to find some abstracts in the urban reflections.
After 20 years of collecting patches (and taking photos) in spectacular places all over North America, from White Horse to Miami, the total has reached 120.
They're on display in our RV.

Nancy: -Hello I'm "Nancy in the city". You're sooo cute!
Patch: -Hehee... Hi! I'm Patch the Brave Knight. You look like Godzilla with your big legs and mini arms!
Nancy: -How rude!
Patch: -But it's a compliment! I love godzillas, I even have a baby one as a pet. He's over there -Yooohoo Zillo! Say Hi to Miss Nancy-, I'm teaching him how to chase asian hornets. They are a real threat to biodiversity, you see.
Nancy: -That's cool! What a great Brave Knight you are! Can you help me find the nearest city?
Patch: -I'm afraid I'm really bad at geography, Milady. But I can tell that you are on the famous DuDidier street, it goes from here to there, both inside and outside.
Nancy: -Ah. I think I heard that already.
Patch: -I love your outfit! It would look great on Zillo. Can I borrow it sometime?
Nancy: -¡absolutamente no!

I'm so fond of Patch the Brave Knight that I can't bring myself to change her outfit. I might need another Patch who will be wearing it all the time (and possibly build an army of brave knights lol). After all we never know when we'll need the help of a Brave Knight.
The girls were playing outside amongst the flowers one late afternoon. They looked so adorable in their flowery dresses, that Veronica, Patch's mum, abandoned the dishes and went out with the camera.
Mum: Girls!
Patch: Yes mum?
Pepper: Yes Mrs Wetherby!
Mum: I only have one photo left on this film. *Holding up the camera.* So please stand still and smile for me.
Patch: Will do.
Pepper: Of course Mrs Wetherby.
They lined up and just as Veronica hit the button, Patch went topsy-turvy.
Mum: Oh Patch!
Patch: Did you get it? Did you get it?! *Excited*
Pepper: Haha, bravo! I wish I could do that.
Mum: *sigh* Yes my little rascal, I got it. But I do want to get your pretty little face in a photo at some point.
Patch: Sure mum. I smiled though. Pepper, I will teach you how to do it, but it takes all you got and you will get dirty.
Pepper: Smashing!

Pepper is trying so hard to become as mischievous as Patch, but she has a long way to go.

CSX C670-26 begins its assault of the “west slope” of. Sand Patch Grade just west of Meyersdale. This train would be powered by a duo of SD70MACs, the trailing of which looked reasonably fresh.
Each year, the Great Pumpkin rises out of the pumpkin patch that he thinks is the most sincere. He's gotta pick this one. He's got to. I don't see how a pumpkin patch can be more sincere than this one. You can look around and there's not a sign of hypocrisy. Nothing but sincerity as far as the eye can see.
A well loved Patch doll has finally made it to Cooperstown. I got such a sweet note from the 70 year old seller, who played with her as a child. In the lot were some clothes that her grandmother made for her dolls. I will keep them (even if they're not genuine Sindy items) and cherish them for what they are.
Patch needs a cleanup before I introduce her to her Sindy sisters. Though I doubt she'll stay clean for very long...

Patch is Sindy's rascal of a little sister, produced by Pedigree from 1966 to approximately 1970ish.
I believe this one is from 1966. It says Made in England on the back of her neck and she has no markings on the torso.
