How on earth do you leave so many comments and keep up with everyone? It definitely takes up a lot of time. You 'are' seeing clients, right?!!! You aren't just sitting at home stuck on your computer now, are you, LIKE ME?????? Well, anyway...your photos are very nice with the birds...and, I can't stand this spring stuff you are showing! I mean, yes, I WANT spring! But, it just SNOWED here. Come on!!!!<BR/>It is nice to see the spring things popping up in your garden, really. None are showing in mine yet.
