An ASY male came in this morning around 7:30 AM. Temp was 35*. Warmed up to around 60* today. Two days later than last year. I am glad he waited till after the snow storm we had last week. He looked it real good shape. Will be waiting on more to come and enjoying him till they do.
Hope everyone has a good season.
Back In The Game!

This is great news. Nice to hear that things are warming up a bit.
Well this morning a female joined him. A little while later another male came. I'm a happy camper!
