        Thank you, Phil. Please visit my new blog sometime. It is on nature rather than gardening. I do know the problems with replying by phone. I have made many mistakes doing so. Again, happy holidays to you and your family.

  We have some swans in the pond behind us and I’m amazed those birds can ever take off. But they do a lot of walking. 🙂
