The other duck family has grown and gone, and these ones are getting bigger. And a change in wind direction.

 

 Calm morning.

 Cherry tomatoes ready for roasting.

 Finishing a quilt for a family friend.

 Miss Maggie joined us for our morning walk (it's about 1km).

 Misty morning walk.

 Went for a bike ride (this is the field on the other side of the highway).

 Miss Maggie walking down the driveway, and great sky.

A large flock of some kind of noisy, black bird.

One of the colourful ones up close.

 

 A bit cool outside, so a good day to stay inside and sew.

 Miss Molly keeps an eye out on the road when we are home alone together.

 They started harvesting the field around our home (oats this year).

 Deer at my sister-in-law's.

I drove today for the first time in about 11 months! You can tell by the heads-up display that I stopped to take the picture.

 Garlic harvesting day.
