Terny



Yesterday was a rather raw, breezy day. The girls and I had heard of all sorts of lovely things happening at Potter's Marsh. We headed over there to find it was very, very terny. There were hundreds of Arctic Terns. We also saw a few Canvas-backs, Red-necked Grebes, and a few Canadian Geese.



We even spotted a pair hanging out. I'm not sure if they were still courting or if they had made it to the nesting phase.



As we were leaving we even saw a Muskrat. I had never seen one there before. Pretty cool.



I also finished some baby hats. My friend, Janarose, is having a boy next month. I thought he might need a few stylish chapeaus.

Dang! I heard a joke where the punch-line is "one good tern deserves another" but I can't remember it!

The construction at Potter Marsh is a little draw back, but when it's done it's going to be awesome. I guess I'm a little impatient. :)

Those hats look pretty cool too ;)
