smokepole;
Good morning to you sir, thanks for the kind words in your reply.
I appreciate it and will do my best to deserve them for sure.
We're cold here this morning, but were just watching the veritable herds of California Quail heading over to the next door neighbor's feeding station as well as 2 mulie fawns and a mulie heifer with a really bad limp who hangs out with them.
She's been hopping around on 3 legs since July - it's the right rear that's out of alignment - but so far she's still with us and since there's a couple of us who thin the local coyotes out, if she stays local she just might make spring.
Anyways sir, all that report to say that while the year's been absolutely trying and in fact heartbreaking on a few personal levels, the fact that I'm still on this side of the grass - snow covered as it is this morning - is an indication that I need to be thankful for what I've got.
Thanks very much again, it was kind of you to say so, Merry Christmas to you and yours and the very best in 2021 to you all.
Dwayne
