I'd gladly be doing garden work in the Dead of Winter but the foot of snow makes that a bit of a challenge!

Looks like you'll have plenty of room for some great new garden additions in 2020!

very observant, you are -- lol
He's a demanding, dictatorial little beast with the loudest meow ive EVER heard from a cat. And guess what -- when he lets loose with his cat yelling, i come running, like a dutiful human. Sticking tongue out Whistling
Fairly efficient at whittling down the rodent population, he is, if not in the mood to sadistically play with them until they expire.
