We are no longer experiencing temperatures in the forties and fifties. As a matter of fact, a 35 degree day would be more than welcome by most of us. I haven’t seen too many birds in the area for a week or two, and I can’t remember the last time I was bitten by a mosquito. We have been very …

2013 is now one week old, and I’m wondering how many people are holding fast to the resolutions that they made last week. Do people still make them?
