Last week we had four........ Then they went across the street to the other lake..........
Feeding these ducks daily and they take the cute ones away..........
How grand this morning to find that they were back...... With three friends..............
Aren't they the cutest................
It is not easy to get them to stand still for a photo..... One got away.........
Really need to cut the grass so they won't get lost...........

Goodbye...
For the last few days we have been blessed to have Jean and Bill visit...... Wade Hamilton especially loves to see them come..........
We had a grand time talking and knitting and getting up to date with family doings......
It was with a heavy heart that I watched them drive away but I know they will be back soon.......

For the Birds
This post is all ducks..... The small item in the top center of the picture is the ducklings we had this morning......
There are four of them.... One of they is yellow.......
Following Mama.......
Aren't the sweet?
I had noticed a nest under the bird bath with eggs........ The next time I filled the bird feeder it appeared to have been covered over.........
I checked it this morning while they were eating and it was uncovered and there were still three eggs in it......... After eating she went back to the nest with the ducklings......
Does that mean more to follow........

Still on the Needles.
Sorry Bill, but your socks will not be ready for you to take home with you........ I do have one almost done except for the toe......... You will have them before it gets cold......
The picture is taken on the quilt I am getting ready to bind for Jean........... Yes, I do know I also need to make an antimacassar for her....... Pattern is selected but the baby boom needs to be handled first........
Check out Patchwork Times HERE and see what other special women are making.

Saturday
I missed "On the Needles Friday" so I am posting today instead....... It was on my list but other things occurred that kept me busy.......
Went to Greenville Friday morning with Rebekah to make arrangements for a rental car since her car will not be fixed for another week....
Next to Grifton with Lem for a few groceries........
By then it was lunch time.....after which we got to rest for 40 minutes before we headed to Kinston for his appointment.... He is still having problems so he will have to go back in three weeks........
We got home in time to do a wee bit of a house blessing and then I was off to Greenville again with Rebekah to pick up the rental car.........
These days on the road are quite tiring............
I am ready now to turn the heel on Bill's first sock....... I am still enjoying the square needles... Hope to get the heel turned tonight so I can begin the gusset tomorrow............

It Has Been Awhile
But Wade Hamilton tore his ACL and needed surgery....... At the same time Lem had some problems that required many trips to the Dr.
Tomorrow is what I hope will be our last day out for awhile............
Marilyn and Georgina even stepped in when their appointments were in conflict...... I have the best neighbors and friends in this world.......
I haven't been in the studio in so long I think I might have forgotten how to sew..........
I did get one quilt in the mail........ This was a Knit A Long from Crazy Mom Quilts HERE... I made three of them.... Two green and this one..... It was an enjoyable quilt to make and I appreciate that she shared her design......... This one went to a dear sister-in-law.........
And here is the new addition to our home..... We had to have a ramp put in for Lem.... This makes it so much safer for him to get in and out of the house.......
This is a picture of my morning greeters...... They have even come on the porch to wake us if we don't feed them early each morning...... We feed 22 mallards and 2 white ducks each morning..... They are so enjoyable to watch........
I got out the Nativity once more....... I really want to hang this in our home and that will only happen if I get it finished....... I am trying to give it one hour each morning...... Doesn't always work but maybe one day I will have it finished...........
Jean's socks........ The second pair....... I am pleased to have both pairs completed..... Now I have begun knitting Bill's socks.......
I tried a pair of Kollage square needles. .. True to their advertisement they are easier on the hands than round ones....... I get a much more even stitch with them and can knit longer at a sitting.....
They are made in the USA which is an added bonus for me...... If you try them remember to check gauge because you might to go up a needle size......
