Day 243/365

I know these photos are grainy and pretty hard to see, 

but I wanted to document this event. 

There was quite a ruckus on the roof last night just after midnight. 

I went to investigate and found this happening. 

Look closely and you will see four raccoons. 

Oh, and the ring leader makes five. 

He succeeded in totally emptying the suet cake feeder. 

He ate most of it himself and what fell on the ground was up for grabs. 

To get these pictures, I used a flashlight with one hand 

and took the pictures with the other 

all while standing on a chair at the window. 

It was quite tricky and I imagine it was quite comical, though there were no witnesses 

except the raccoons who aren't talking.

Day 242/365

The boy loves his books. (GB#3)

As an addition to yesterday's picture, 

this photo was technically taken today as it was after midnight. 

We definitely wore her out! (GB#2)

Day 241/365

I think we wore her out.

Day 240/365

Three. 

Out for an after dinner walk.

Day 239/365

When I finished quilting the house quilt yesterday, 

I had extra backing and batting. 

I decided to load another piece of fabric and do some practicing. 

My plan is to fill the entire space with feathers. 

I'm about halfway there.

Day 238/365

GB#1 takes dance at school. 

Today was a little recital. 

She sure does love her dance class.

Day 237/365

I am headed downtown today. 

Surely there will be some waiting time. 

(yes, 3 hours worth)

I will bring hexies to sew. 

Certainly I can bring my Fiskars blunt tip kids scissors in my sewing kit. 

(nope, it's a federal building) 

I think I'll doodle a little bit.
