In material things I may come up way short compared to some of my friends and family but I have the peace of mind of not being in debt for anything, save my house, learning to live below my means. <BR/><BR/>LOVE the white-throated sparrow. Do you have them year-round? I just notice them in the winter up here in Maryland.<BR/><BR/>Love the lake shots also. I much prefer a cabin in the woods by a lake instead of a place at the ocean. I guess you can take the gal out of Minnesota, but you can't take Minnesota out of the gal. <BR/><BR/>I hope your New Year is filled with much more reflective birding time.possumladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08060146825196164963noreply@blogger.com
