Next 6 days are SUNNY warm...looks like yard work for Rodger, and whatever I can get done. It's a fabulous time. **WE have had 2 birdhouses up for years, and they've never been used....no matter HOW we place them. I don't know what that means...wish I did. Thanks for inspiring me about spring, Gav, hope all's well.
