Haven't sewn much this week.  I started working on an old Thimbleberry block of the month.  I must have bought the patterns in 2000.  I have the background material and the material for rows (not sashing) that will go between the rows of blocks.  Are you confused yet.  Anyway, the pattern is birdhouses and I have been buying a few pieces of material the last 2 months in Baldwin City to work on the monthly blocks.  The first block will be 20 inches square when I get it finished.  I'm hoping that I won't be disappointed when I'm finished with the blocks.  The background material is from a year that the quality of the material was lacking.  No weightiness to the background material, feels thin.
We went to Bill & Joyce's today and fed the fish across the road at the pond.  Leland was thrilled when he saw the first fish come up to feed.  Wonderful time to stand on the bank and throw fish food out in the pond.  Wish I had remembered to take pictures.
Tuesday nights are our $1 taco night out with Bill and Joyce.  Had a good visit.  We always do.
Yesterday Leland and I took Grammy shopping at Jerry's.  He wanted to ride the horse but I'm never sure if he enjoys the ride.  He rode the horse before we went into the store and didn't want to ride again when we came out.  Today Leland took 2 tomatoes off of the counter and ate them.  After he ate the first 1 I thought that I had moved them out of his reach.  But I was wrong.  When his parents picked him up this afternoon he went running to greet them.  Ran past his Mom to his Dad, poor Mom.
Tom is busy hatching eggs.  Need to take pictures to show why we are Shepard Flock Farm.

Well, here it is weeks since the last time I posted to the blog.
I'd hoped to make this into a diary.  But that hasn't happened, yet.
Today Tom & I went to see Billy.  The only other time that we saw him was when he was 1 day old and now he is 5 weeks old.  He was born March 4, 2015 fifteen weeks early.
The 2nd picture is about 1 week old and this is Billy's Momma holding him. 
Today he weighed 1lb 13oz and he is now 13 and 1/2 inches long.  His Momma calls him Mighty Billy.  I just pray grow Billy grow.  Billy is doing really good and we are all pleased with the progress that he is making.
And this is big brother have dinner with Nana & Papa a couple of weeks ago.
I have been doing some sewing and have a couple of tops done that I need to take photos of and post.
