I got sidetracked at one of yours, because I wanted to see if this was the person who left a review of a dishwasher, but you aren't. I love your series of photos of the lake and your woodpecker.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3803801517332763895.post-42653848487657611692010-02-05T22:24:59.872-05:002010-02-05T22:24:59.872-05:00So many very interesting ice formations.
