So here's a flashback - I can't believe that I completed a large sampler in just a couple of weeks - wow!

Morning light is not the best.

But I only manage a couple of photos of one of the guys.

The flowers were a bit of a challenge, but in looking at this stitch, I am still very pleased with it.

The Violet-green Swallows continue to show interest in a couple of the nesting boxes.
