Homesteading with Jackie Clay
Our first robin arrived today
I was so jealous of my sisters, Sue and Deb. Both had flocks of robins arriving in their yards. Us? Nada. But today our first one arrived, and we were so thrilled! Will was...
Well, things are looking up
I'm finally somewhat used to my new computer (although I still can't use the current photo program; I'm used to the old Picasa 3, which I can't currently download as it has been replaced)....
