8:30 a.m. on a gray, snowy PA morning. Second cup of coffee in hand. I just read your post and now I am totally exhausted and going back to bed.

Congrats on the chicks! And what an improved view now that the azaleas are gone. And as for your neighbors, you are a saint. Now get the little boy to help you move the washing machine.

The boy is much too small to move much of anything. His only chore is to take out the bag of trash each day. They don't make children like they did in the old days!
