Now, if I was a blue person, this is the shade that I would want to be.
Turtle race!
I finally dragged myself and my machine up to Dover today. After getting around all the shore traffic getting on to route 404, traffic wasn’t bad until I got into Dover. I told Vickie what I wanted and she had a fix for my embroidery arm. She also accepted my coupons even though they were a day late. I bought a Loralie embroidery design and some thread. I’d love to stitch one out, but I will be without my machine for four weeks. I also got some quilting stuff that was on sale at Joann’s. I don’t feel the trip was wasted especially since it’s a forty miles away.
I took this last night.
You know, you can fiddle with it just so long and then you have to do something else. I downloaded more pictures and video this morning. I had gotten into the habit of deleting pictures after I downloaded them, but now I don’t know how. I am so blind that I needed a full size picture in order to decide. I also need to figure out how to put videos into my blog. I tried to get Maude screaming to go out, but she just looked at me like I was some kind of idiot. I guess I will have to go get the manual and give up playing around, but not today.
Here’s some of the goslings with Mama. There are three families that come through. It’s usually in the early morning or evening, but these were kind enough to stop by in the middle of the afternoon.
Here’s a young Great Blue Heron. This was taken during low tide. He was walking along the edge of our little island.
Do you see why it is hard to get me to go anywhere?
I think I should have made the flap a little bigger. At least I remembered to put in a buttonhole. I have the pattern about half written with the rest in scribbly note form. I’ll have to work on that. I also need to make a free pattern page.
