yep, been keeping busy. Haven't loaded the rocks yet... Just too cold... Maybe in another day or two... we don't have weasels or mink so I have to blame it on the possums... As stated, it's cold. A whopping 15 this morning in Lampasas but we have a Southerly wind today so it won' last long.. can't wait for warmer weather.
