They make me happy just to see them and I'm sure you'll have those little guys at your feeders soon. I can understand how you can be burned out staring at a computer screen all day and then getting on one at night. Certain days at work I'm on the computer alot and when I get home, that's the last thing I want to see!! Enjoy your time outside - I wish it was me! But, alas it was 9 degrees here Friday night - I think we've entered a new Ice Age!Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15806756079227306837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35675426.post-80782118147213362742008-03-09T23:31:00.000-04:002008-03-09T23:31:00.000-04:00Love the pictures!
