Nice video clip, Phillip! Lately I have been trying to jazz up my blog with a few videos also. Let us all THINK SPRING and cross our fingers no rogue, late bitter hard freeze will hit later this month just as things start budding out! Best regards, Jon in Vicksburg, MS on 2-1-08

ReplyDeleteChicago is under a foot of snow.
Looks like today [Saturday] in Florence is our spring shot to get us through February.
