Frances and I have decided to bring it in for winter and coax it. The flowers in our garden are beautiful this year. We… Continue reading Home Is Where You Hang Your Hat

Northwoods Entertainment
We found this guy at the Heartwood House where we will be spending the greater part of our weeks for the next few months. He provided us with some chuckles when we discovered he could be such a ham. Ah! nothing like a reason to smile while getting used to a different home.
