I've been told our Canada Geese have made nests in crazy places! I know a few pairs have built nests on city office buildings roof tops, definitely crazy! Well this is the second year I know of that a pair have returned to this planter, just feet from the blocks entrance, don't know how the ducklings get out of there if they can't fly yet? And last year the 6" or more from pot ground to top of the pot was full of downpour water flooding the nest. I heard someone moved the eggs but not sure if they were safe and survived. Hope not this year!

We're at the ACQ quilting retreat and yesterday I was too tired to take or post pictures. Sylvia is working on a donation fish quilt, Pat worked on placemats and now trying out the migrating flying geese we learnt at our last meeting demo from Lynda K. Edna and I both are working on our smaller Art After Dark gecko wall hangings. I just finished attaching all my pieces and shut that project down. I switched to the quilting on my catus wall hanging.
A couple more pictures. Pat's migrating geese, Sylvia's finished fish quilt top and she started a second quilt top.
Today at Meadowood I finished the binding on my Cacti - Art After Dark class from Assiniboine Circle Quilters taught by Jackie J. Well I still have the label to prep and sew in place! I
it!!!
I finally snapped out of my funkie mood today. Hope it stays away for awhile! Early breakfast with Sylvia, checked out Piece It Together's spring sale and was THRILLED to see one of my donated tops completed and for sale for their fundraiser! Got some quilt ideas too along with a few small purchases!
Yeah!!! Finally after 30 plus years I'm finally taking in an Eastern Canada fall leaves tour, with Sylvia.
Then shortly afterwards I'll be off to Toronto area to visit my girlfriends!!! That'll be it for 2026 and not sure what's in store for 2027.
I missed posting about Sunday's outing at the Woodcarvers' Competition where Randy (Pat's hubby) showed his work and received three ribbons! WOW!!! The walking sticks were initially worked on by Sylvia's hubby Len and Randy finished them off! I enjoyed Randy's help in understanding some of the intricasies of this hobby! Thank you!
Update: added Randy's photo of the moose brains he added into the walking stick's indent, googly eyes etc above!
