Progress

The portulacas are making progress this year.









The frogs in the creek are also very successful and multiplying this spring.
Now, if the raccoons would just leave them alone they'd be fine and happy down there in the ditch. When the creek dries up they just hop on over to the pond.
That brings us to yet another problem. Herons. One stopped by last Sunday a.m. and gulped down a big frog in one quick swallow. I had my 35mm in my hands and got that one on film. It is kinda sad to see a heron on the side of your pond with frog legs hanging out of it's mouth. But, as you can see, we still have plenty of frogs and this was just a small bunch.


My sweater is done! I dyed this yarn 3 years ago, maybe only 2. Seems like it's been a long time. I started a pullover last summer but decided I just didn't like how it was going.
So, FROG I did.
This is sweater #5 from Vogue Knitting Spring/Summer '05. I even wore it already. Those fork truck drivers saw me out walking on Monday night.

That brings me to the next progress report. After participating in the America On The Move online challenge, I decided to keep walking. I do stop from time to time since it is easier to knit that way.
Since I started back up with new numbers on June 13th I have logged around 74 miles - now, this is done at work. There's a lot of walking involved with this supervision stuff.
My feet hurt. I can't wear any really comfy shoes since they have to be slip-resistant. Mine are and they used to be comfy, but, I think I'm wearing them out.



Here's how my version of the Anny Blatt cover sweater is going. I just now finished the coral stripe and am winding a ball of aqua right now.

Back to my knitting. I only have 1 1/2 hours left before I have to head out of here to go to work.

Did I mention that I really don't like 2nd shift?
