I don't know why people spend all that money for a place only to never use it. <br /><br />Grannyann: We live in a gorgeous area of nature...but when winter comes, although it can be beautiful with all the snow...it is a harsh, cold existence until spring again.<br /><br />DJan: You are welcome. I took some other pictures I will be posting soon, too.<br /><br />Blushing: Yes, it was a great eagle. Last year we were out there without my camera and saw SEVEN huge turkey vultures in the same tree!!! I will watch for them again this year!<br /><br />Bernie: I wish you were on one of those decks reading your book! Then, I could pull our boat up and visit with you! :-)<br /><br />Sara: I'm going to post a lot more, so stay tuned! (And I will keep looking at that beautiful Cole!)<br /><br />JJ: Thanks! That little dog looked so forlorn without his Master. He didn't bark...he just looked longingly at our boat going by, like he was thinking: "Are you my Master coming back for me?"<br /><br />Gardener: Let's trade for the day...I will hang out in your beautiful garden, and you can borrow our boat and tour our lake.<br /><br />Mitr: You are new to my blog!! Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting. I hope you sign up as a Follower!??

We had a great day. Anytime the weather is good, we try and get out and about.
