Happy Birthday - Horses Lap Quilt

Happy Birthday Jeanine, my best friend since third grade.

I hope you are able to see the quilting on this lap quilt.

My teacher is a long time friend, Waynette, who quilted it and at the same time showed me how.

The first picture shows quilting in white, actually it is a clear thread that she used.
She outlined the horses and put in a few designs. I didn't want the entire quilt to be deluged with quilting designs.  Click on the picture to make it bigger and to see the actual designs.

Blessings,

Janet

Rainbow in Black and White

Wouldn't you know I would use the camera for a bw picture and forget to change it back. There are no seconds on rainbows.

There will be more opportunities.

Another day at the Bridge

The ducks are gathered on the bank. . . they will Not go into the water.

                                

ONE lone duck is in the water, but soon flies off.

After she flies off, I watch the water. Sure enough there are about 5 bobs and circles 

I know we have gators here. . . I have no idea, but I do know there is something in the water

and no one wants to go in.

Uh, Oh, Should I go in?? Nope, don't think so.

                                  

 One of the ducks across the water decides to fly over to where I am on the other bank. 

But soon flies back, no food!

As I turn around to go back home, there is a smaller duck coming by. .. does she go into the water?

I don't know, I trek for home.

 Blessings,
Janet

Walking to the Bridge - Will it rain?

Walking to the bridge it did not rain.

I saw 3 ducks.

I know many more hang out there than that.

W A I T

They were on the other side - here they come across the road.

 and down the bank

Swimming across the canal

 Yep, they didn't want to get left out

 Just in case there was 'food' involved.

There were at least 15 ducks.
Is that a Gaggle of ducks?

Blessings,

Janet

Sunset at Starbucks

Once out, don't forget to look around. . . the wires got in the way, but the sunset was still beautiful.

Walk to bridge to see the ducks

 Florida has canals everywhere. No shortcuts down any streets here.

As you can see from the palm tree, the wind was blowing and there were dark clouds.

The pictures may be a bit blurry because of the wind.

 Look what I found on the bank.  Lots of ducks and Egrets.

I always need a bird fix. The birds were busy chirping when I went to bed last night at 2 a.m.

I didn't hear them this morning (rain coming?) so I went to find the ducks.

I didn't have far to go.  But I knew the weather would turn quickly, so I turned around and went back.

As soon as I entered the clubhouse to give a shout out.  It began to pour. There were only some dark clouds.  Therefore, it stopped shortly and the sun came back out. 

Off I went to home.

Enjoy your week.

Blessings,

Janet
