Yami with Yukon by Ann Weaver |
Ann says in an earlier article that this is mom Yami with baby son Yukon born 2016. She believes they were playing a tickling game last August when she took this picture.

Hubby and I did a whole presentation of 'Shifting Sand' for our FMNP course last July. It's hard to show as a single snap shot in time how barrier islands change, but the picture above is a good example of Assateague,Maryland which once was just 1 island! Now the southern end - a nature preserve - is moving inland while the developed northern end cannot shift due to man-made barriers.
September was the most hurricane active month on record. After Irma, we had Jose, which tracked off the East Coast, Kati, which hit Mexico's Yucatan peninsula, while Lee stayed out in the Atlantic ocean, and Maria devastated Puerto Rico, but missed Florida. Now Ned is likely to make landfall this weekend in Louisiana. Jose, Maria and Ned all were forecast at some point to come our way - but didn't.
In the meantime, work continues here to clean-up from Irma. There is still lots of yard debris to be picked up and signs and building siding to be replaced. Hubby is fixing our little leak.

We went to the annual autumn start of the local Corey Market and found some Chinese Noodle Beans to try - yummy, just saute.

But the dolphins came out to play around our boat trip in the Boga Ciega Bay as well as outside our window. The dolphins are attracted inshore by a schools of bait fish which also bring out the pelicans for a dining feast.

At long last, I finished my Roseate Spoonbill fabric and stuffed a few more charity pillows with the help of friends.
I thought at first glance you were on a unicycle...... my heart skipped a beat hoping you'd not hurt yourself!!! I can see clearly now it has two wheels - silly me - why would you be on a unicycle.... I look forward to that picture in the next post ;) Great picture of the dolphins! Amazing Spoonbill - you have come so far in your quilting life! :)
