UFO Progress
I've been trying to update you on my UFO progress for a few days, but my tablet won't upload photos for some reason ... :(
So here we go. My BadCat Designs Summer Lace Sampler started in 2008.
I've gotten all 12 lace samplers knit in the main body, and I have started knitting the border on one short end. I really like the technique of adding the border to the main body of the shawl. :)

PEACHES and the Harvest
Here is peaches looking at the harvest. Frankly, I am disappointed with the small size. I fully expected much more summer squash, given the number of plants I have.
Forest Beach Migratory Preserve
This morning I went to the Forest Beach Migratory Preserve between Belgium & Port Washington, WI. It's located just south of Harrington State Park.
The reason I went there is because there have been sightings of a large Crossbill flock. I haven't seen a crossbill in person before, so I thought it would be a good chance to add that to my list.
However, I didn't see any.
I did see a Purple Martin .. several, in fact.
There was a pond - and several ducks. I didn't identify them, ... but here are some pictures.
On the way walking back to the van, I was able to get a couple of photos of the Martins in trees and on a line. I'm pretty sure they are Martins .. immature Males.
The following are a few Martins that were in a Pine right next to the Parking Lot.
I was disappointed that I didn't see any Crossbills, but atleast I saw the Martins.

Bristol's Book - Not Afraid of Life
I finished Bristol Palin's book the other day. "Not Afraid of Life: My Journey So Far"
I was very pleased that I was able to read it. I recommend it to anyone who would like to know more about the Palin's, and the Bristol situation a few years back in particular. It was well written, almost like she was sitting in front of me and telling me her story.
I also found recently that she has a blog through patheos... I'm now subscribed. Can't wait to see how she does on the new season of DWTS. :)
