Yummy sweater. I always loved that pattern but was never up to the challenge. Good for you and I can not wait to see it at Madrona. As for your cranes...they could kick our bald eagles' ass, I'm pretty sure. wow.

That looks more like a golf course than someone's yard. I'm so green. Lucky, beautiful Marina to have such a lovely place to live!
