Duck Egg Story Continues

The eggs hatched!  My neighbor called frantic the the mama ducks were leading their flocks across the street. I ran out the door, with my camera, and found that two ducklings were abandoned. One had a deformed foot and was left in the hollow tree where it was hatched. The other failed to follow the others.

I took off after the others that crossed the street and were cutting through the neighbors yards. I also filmed their escape and then could go no further. They disappeared into the high grass.

 After my neighbors cared for them for abt 24 hours, I took the ducklings to a volunteer from the Valley Wildlife Rescue Team. I am so grateful for her help.

Heart-Shaped French Toast

Well, no explanation needed for these beauties.  Made them for my granddaughters who are here with me for their annual "Summer Month with Gramma". White wheat bread cut with heart-shaped cookie cutter. Yum. Used son's recipe of vanilla and cinnamon added to mixture. I like mine with LOG CABIN syrup (used MRS. BUTTERWORTH'S for years, but it was not "MY" favorite. So, 2010 is the year of pleasing myself!!!!!!!!) One granddaughter likes her sprinkled with powdered sugar.

D.I.Y. Bias Tape

So, I purchased an inexpensive bias tape thingy (technical term). A DRITZ Quilting 1" Bias Tape Maker.

I really want a SIMPLICITY bias tape machine but it only comes with one size of material folding mechanism. Additional ones, for different widths, need to be purchased. So I bought the 1" to learn how to make bias tape. Rather than using an iron, I am using my granddaughter's CHI. Excellent results!!!
