Catching up

Where do the days go?? The weeks just seem to fly by!
the Supervisor and I went for a walk one morning and it was cloudy and gray

not much sun and the tide was out

lots of birds were cleaning , drying and resting

heaps of them!!

It must be moulting time for these crabs once again as the beach was covered with them, some whole some not.

This heron was looking for a snack

back home I found a heap of mushrooms in the garden.

Yep more pelicans, I just love them. I went for a walk to the shops and back yesterday and these guys were all preening and cleaning waiting for the fishing people to come in I think.


The storm water pipe was running water into the lagoon, which was flowing out into the bay, the seagulls were having a wonderful time bathing and drinking in the not so salty water.

Couldn't help myself, the water was so calm and the reflections good. I had spent most of the day quilting the Aussie Hero quilt, so it was goods to get out in the fresh air for a walk in the sunshine You wouldn't believe that we had had a sea fog earlier in the day! I just have to write a letter to go with the quilt, write on the label and it can go in the post.
So because I had been good, after sewing group today

I made a purple sister!! So happy with her.
I had been get dome dinner sorted I suppose, it is so tempting to make another block!!
Maybe just cut one.......
Happy stitching.
