They have left the open water here too as much of it is icing over, except for the bay on Lake Michigan which is icy only at the edges. I'm sure you will be glad to see those first few ducks in spring... We love it when they land on the tiny pond in our back yard. :)Marciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00582731584317660272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34352399.post-42632400722098762002010-01-31T19:52:26.320-05:002010-01-31T19:52:26.320-05:00Charming stroll through the snow.
