Rafts of ducks

There is a huge raft of ducks that love to come and harvest the flats in front of the cabin. They are really rather attractive birds but they sure do leave a mess. And then the noise, I kind of like it but it does get old after awhile. I find that the gulls leave when the ducks are in the area, a couple stay but the majority head to another bar. I get it, the ducks just power clean the beach. They come in waves and eat everything there, then they move on to another area. They were here for about an hour and now they are gone. I took a short video of it because it was interesting and different. I never remember seeing the large rafts of ducks in years past, although I have heart such existed in the last several years. Ever changing eco-system I guess.

I am supposed to teach a class on scripture cases tonight for the beehive girls. Not such a problem except you you hit the reality that 2 of 3 do not know anything about a sewing machine and I have a total of 50 minutes from beginning to end of this project. Could be interesting at best. I am glad Kristin will be there to make her own and then, hopefully, the other girls will see that it is possible for girls their age bracket. I also have Avery coming to help and that will be a big difference. If Kristin works alone and Avery and I take the other two girls on one to one then I really do think we might be able to accomplish the task. It certainly is a simple project, I simplified again and again and think I have it down to a minimum of seams and all easy seams! More than that I can not do.

And now I will have my dinner and get on with my project. Dinner is corned beef with red potatoes and carrots. Not an every day kind of thing but something I do enjoy on an once a year basis. Left over corned beef with mustard is really good, and fresh is good too. At least it is different and that is a plus.
