Jeff went to take the dogs out last night for their last potty and there were OUT OF NOWHERE two immature ducks in our front yard. Grabbed the camera...snap, snap, snap...and...here they are:
H-E-L-L-O...we live in the desert. There are no ponds near us. City Zoning does not permit folks in our area to keep ducks as pets. The HOA certainly would not approve.
So...WHY do we have two baby ducks in our yard? Where did they come from? Where is their mama? A true mystery.
Well, they stayed all night. I was shocked to see them still there in the morning. I thought for sure the coyotes would have dined on ducky...but nope...there they were in the front yard.
Yes, there really are wild coyotes roaming around these parts...you don't leave small pets outside overnight if you want to keep them very long. Oh yeah...and all the piles of presents these pretty babies left on our front "welcome" mat!!!
So about 8 o'clock this morning a landscaper (working on a job across the street) knocks on our door. He asks if these are our ducks..."uh no"...and asks if he can have them because he has a place in the country not too far from us. "Uh...yeah...sure, sounds good."
LOL...never a dull moment.
I found a couple fabulous Patsy Thompson YouTube Videos--and I thought you would enjoy these a LOT. Part 1 is on top, scroll down for Part 2. Patsy is a wonderful teacher.
Sew Thankful stocks Patsy's DVDs on machine quilting techniques...so these will give you a great sense of her style.
ENJOY!
