No real big quilting updates for today, But a few pictures to show.
Lansing has its own Peregrine Falcon nest box on the Board of Water and Light plant. I have shown pictures previously of the nest and the eggs….here are the babies
aren’t they cute! they grow fast because they get fed a lot
they are entering that “awkward” stage now
I bought another eBay quilt top (don’t laugh I really needed it)
I will post more about it when it arrives.
and here are the requisite garden pictures. (click to enlarge)
