A Bit of Sewing

This has been an "interesting" week.  I think that I passed the 6th kidney stone this morning. That makes 6 in 12 days. Sheesh.   I was scheduled to work as usher for a Broadway touring show, but the onset of #5 caused me to call and tell them that I could not come in.  I have to say that I think only the first one was a big one. Or it could be that I am learning to deal with the pain better. I have not managed to catch or see any of these, but I have felt each of them moving along the ureter.  As I am writing this, I feel a possible #7 coming down the line. Hopefully it is small and will move quickly.  

During the "lulls" in the pain, I have started sewing some random pieces together to start another wild scrappy quilt.  There are three separate sections in the photo. While I put them so that they almost look like one big piece;  they probably will not end up together. 

While I was at Mom's, I went to the mailbox for her. As I neared the road I saw something moving at the edge of the road, near the mailbox.  I slowed down and made some noise. These two raised up their heads and started to leave.  I said "What are those?"

So I took the photo and showed mom when I was back inside. She had no clue either. 

Hmmm.... Let me try Google lens!  It focused in on the bird at the right.  The results said:
Helmeted Guinea fowl.

Of course, I was curious, seeing them for the first time. I read several articles. 

You will notice that this is a couple. The one on the right was trailing behind. I noticed that he/she was walking with a slight limp.  I suspect it has a damaged foot.  I have read that they mate for life. So I suspect this is why there were only two of them, as usually they stay in flocks. Perhaps they got left behind. 

Until Next Time,
