This week I am still working on my quilt, and of course I know wish, I had machine quilted it. I have most of the main design done, but the smaller areas have no black outline, so I will have to do those in thinner, matching threads.
I grabbed another item out of my to do pile. This was a design by Lynette Anderson. I used to work punch needle pieces for her, for her booklets. This was one I never got around to and decided it was too much to do more.
Not the best job, rushed it and I did some with smaller needle and others with large, so didn't come out like I wanted. It was a circle, so I wanted to add a base to make it look like a snow globe, didn't quite work out, but it will have to do.
Last week we went to Connecticut. I enjoyed the ride and we were able to stop at the quilt store. I got some nice christmas print to use as a border on some of the quilts I am doing. Then we stopped at a pond to see the colors. They were nice, but not as bright as the previous week.
After we went to Comstock bridge and hiked up the hill. It has a beautiful view of the surrounding hills and river. But, not this year. The trees have taken over, so we could enjoy the views, but not get a clear view with the camera.
The next day we went to the kids to drop off a few things. The boys didn't want to go out, so we decided to head to the pond down the road. We go all the time, but have never walked around the pond. I was surprised at how nice the walk was and it was nice to be out without driving for hours.
The first thing we passed was the troll.
And came out to beautiful views of the pond.
On the opposite side is a waterfall.
And a side view of the area, in better light.
Coming around to the other side is a point with tall pines.
When we got back around, we went across the street and walked down the boardwalk to another pond.
Today it was too windy to be at the beach or the woods. We went for a drive and ended up at the ocean. The tide was coming in and the waves were coming up. I hope everyone had a nice week and not hit with the flooding that some areas got.

Sounds like some nice adventures once again. But what you have been calling "ponds" would likely qualify as lakes in most parts around here LOL. Our weather has turned. Today was supposed to turn mostly overcast but, instead, it turned to a nasty, cold, rain.
