I hope everyone is having a good New Year. It seems last year and into this year, I am getting every flu that is going around. My son was sick so I assume I caught it from him. I am not as bad and am fighting it off, but it means resting and finding a new easy project I can put together. I cannot stand just sitting all day and working on something is a good way to pass the time and create something new. I am leaning towards a long pillow to put on the back of the couch, so hopefully I can put that together tomorrow.
This week I wanted to work on something and need more lavender pillows for boxes I will be resorting. I decided to sign up for the new club, PQP Club. You get access to all the back issues of the magazine and 4 new designs each month. I found a valentine stitchery set that was perfect for mini pillows and I reduced it a little more.
We had a few warmer days, warm enough to get out for a bit and walk on the beaches. We went to one of the southern beaches and walked a bit on the point. From there I could get a shot across the water, to the lighthouse.
At the beach end, I spotted this guy, trying to keep from being swept up on the beach. He would swim out and then get pushed back.
He seemed to be content to stay at the beach area and enjoy the waters where it was a bit calmer.
Another day we went to the island and walked along the beach. A view of the lighthouse across the bay.
I spotted a flock of geese in one of the yards. I walked up to them, got my camera ready and caught them, just as they flew off.
On another beach I spotted a flock of Brandts. They were not afraid of me and actually followed me as I walked along. On the way home, I spotted a Kingfisher, hanging out on the camera of the Osprey nest.
I hope you are all doing well this year and not in the storm's paths that are coming through.
