>> These are some great photos to share! You have a lovely yard! I'm surprised you guys don't have any snow. We just got some yesterday.<<

We got a couple snows last month, but that's it. I think everything has melted off except the snow mountains in some parking lots. Yesterday was almost 60F. I got too hot in my jacket while I was outside working, so I took it off.


>> I also reuse coffee cups that get chips or cracks in them for things like that, too. They are still useful - just not to put liquids in!<<

Yeah, I have several more around the house for holding pens and such.
