Blast from the past

I had a crazy day yesterday. After work I had to go get my hair cut then stop at the grocery store to pick up my online order.  By the time I got home it was too late to sew, so in the spirit of these times I will post a quilt I made in 2011 as a tribute to the president at that time.  The front is improv pieced using African Dutch wax fabrics.

The back is made from fabric manufactured in Hawaii with a Hawaiian print.   HOPE was the campaign's theme and the fabrics represented the president's heritage.

Yesterday on my lunchtime walk I took this picture of the Canadian Goose floating in the pond. It was a beautiful day for a swim!

The birds walk all over the property including the road. Someone was in a big hurry and hit one of them.  Two or three birds a year are hit by vehicles on this road.   I know I have had to stop and wait for them to get across the road many a time.  I would rather do that than hit one.
