Hope everyone is doing well and folks further south are getting excited. Been about 4 months to the day since my last ones left and almost 3 months + a few days before expecting them to return. Freezing December so far but that means it's going to be a nice early Spring is my view.... Merry Christmas and Happy New Year...See everyone again in 2025.
