I didn't read them, but want to add that I've been telling people I'm excited for the 21st, or whatever the day is, when the days will start getting longer instead of shorter.

The cardinals and even the blue jays look their best when it snows. We usually only get one small snow dusting and then it's gone. Do you think we're lucky or would you miss the snow?<BR/><BR/>gailGailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16194325535496408116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-12297243138524562212008-12-03T06:41:00.000-06:002008-12-03T06:41:00.000-06:00Gail, I've not ever done Muse Day either.

Now that there's snow on the ground (and more to come tomorrow), I expect we'll start seeing more Cardinals around... and as much as I hate the snow,they look so pretty in it.Iowa Victory Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07220818462081082930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-50855043965557286642008-12-02T23:04:00.000-06:002008-12-02T23:04:00.000-06:00Cameron,Well, you will certainly spur the rest of ...Cameron,<BR/><BR/>Well, you will certainly spur the rest of us on to get our photos and data backed up!
