Quail !
We have had a sweet covey of about a dozen quail scurrying around the yard for the past week or so. It is so cute to see them running from one place to another as if they are on a very important mission.

During my recent trip to see Janice, David and Rosie, I enlisted Janice in one of my "Lucy" ideas. I know she likes abstract impressionist paintings, soooooo, I thought wouldn't it be fun to have her do her take on a Jackson Pollock painting on a piece of fabric and I would make a tote bag out of it for her. I had some duck cloth fabric (light weight canvas) someone had given me almost 20 years ago. I really like how both her painting and the tote bag came out. The tote is over sized so she can use it to carry her painting/drawing supplies to school or wherever. Click on the photo to see the painting up close.

Spuds!

Here is our Potato harvest for this year. Two reds, two whites and two different fingerlings. I bought two packages of fingerlings a couple of years ago, each package contained about 6-7 tubers. I plant the unusable, too small, soft, stating to grow, tubers each year. This year we harvested a very big crop. Yum!
