Yesterday's walk was once again fun. The day was warm after the fog burned off and the colorful sailboats were out catching the breeze in their sails.

He must have been as curious about us as we were about him because he stood still, looking at us long enough for me to get out the camera, roll down the car window and get a really good photo of him. After his glamour shot, he trotted back into the woods.



As we were pulling into the driveway, I spied a butterfly on one of the Gloriosa Daisies and jumped out of the car to get a quick shot of it. This little guy was intent on his lunch and stayed long enough for me to get several shots so I could pick out a good one to post.

Instead of packing the boxes with styrofoam peanuts or other material that would have to be disposed of, they use little knitted dolls which are then given to the children to comfort them.

These little knitted, stuffed dolls are very simple to make and take no time at all and, they are a great way to use yarn left over from all the other projects. Here's one of mine -
