Here's the turkeys again. The one on the right is a little blurry but you can still see them. There must have been the whole flock, looks like about 40. Most of the time it's only about half of them. The other picture is of two that were off by themselves. They seemed to be the ring leaders because every now and then they would run over to the others and chase them around. It's fun to watch them when they are around.

Here's a picture of the cemetary in the daylight. It's a sight even in the day time.

We live across the street from a cemetary that at Christmas sets up lighted luminaries all over the grounds. This year the weather was good and it didn't rain. This is a picture from our front porch. It's really a sight when you look up the hill.

Freezing Weather

This last week had been pretty cold. Down in the low teens at night and only up to the mid 30's during the day. I know for some that's still pretty warm but for us to have so many ice cold days in a row is rare. Ben is a runner and takes our Tootsie with him all the time. This past Tuesday (the 8th) at 18 degrees was no exception. He later showed us the pictures he took of her when they got back. Also know they are only out for about 20 to 30 mintues during the week.

Also note that Tootsie is an all Black Lab. The difference is that she has ice all over her from their run. Ben said she still wanted to go more.. She has a big heart when it comes to running. She wants to be out front and running full on..

Almost finished

This is the, almost finished design. Only half of it is sewn together but I like the looks a lot better.
Since this was taken, I've added two more rows to the top and bottom, small border and soon a larger border. I'm trying to decide if I want to add a fleece backing or the tradiditional batting and back. Guess it will decide on what I find at the store in the way of fleece.

More Lucy Quilt

Sorry I haven't posted for a while. With the holidays things have been sort of put on hold. I have been working on the top off and on and this is how I thought I wanted my quilt to look. I thought it would show off all the fabrics but then it sort of looked blah. So after working with it on the wall I came up with a Trip Around the World.
