Oh, Martine, how funny!! You can't say "Erie, PA" and "sunny" in the same sentence!! We average only 60 days of sunshine a year here, and winter is starting with a vengance. Usually we don't get this kind of weather till January. But the winds were just right off the lake, which isn't frozen yet. It's called 'lake effect' snow, and I live right in the snow belt, where we get hit the hardest. Um, I thought it was supposed to be "global Warming", hee hee hee. I filled the bord feeders, the snow is up to the middle of my thigh. I think rain would be good about now. Thanks for the 'warm' hugs, anyhow! Marji

Love to send it, sweetie, just California in general, or your house in particular? Hee hee hee. I'll start bagging it tomorrow, pffffttt, giggle, snork. I could do with even 40 degrees right about now. At least we don't have wildfires, I think that's worse. Luv ya, Marji. PS, If I disappear for a couple of days in the winter, this is why, cleaning that dish is hard!
