The middle will be a combination kitchen/dining room/ living room with the wood stove right in the center of the house. The lofts are Calvin and Starflower's bedrooms. Lucky kids. Well, they've earned it. <BR/><BR/>FC- You just have to keep rubbing it in, don't you! I'm planning my visit for some time mid January. ;)Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07879771115420282834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10304963.post-1163278757892241392006-11-11T14:59:00.000-06:002006-11-11T14:59:00.000-06:00Not above 25?I was out in the Gulf today in a shor...Not above 25?<BR/><BR/>I was out in the Gulf today in a shorty wetsuit and a tshirt.<BR/><BR/>House is loooookin' gooooood!R.Powershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04905593499136090763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10304963.post-1163276771616433802006-11-11T14:26:00.000-06:002006-11-11T14:26:00.000-06:00I like the look of the roof from the inside too. ...I like the look of the roof from the inside too.

I saw a few at my feeder when I lived in Stacy, but I'm guessing that's as far south as they get. But the cardinals, it's interesting because I see a few of them in Hinckley, where I work, but at my place near Bruno they are very rare; I think we're on the edge of their range. I did hear of one sighted recently in Ely, though. <BR/><BR/>I wonder if cardinals (and evening grosbeaks) don't follow the Zone 3/4 transition. I have lived on both sides. Here I think we have a micro Zone 2. :( <BR/><BR/>pamela- this is the earliest I can remember seeing grosbeaks here. Thanks, and I'm wishing hard too!Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07879771115420282834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10304963.post-1163206491439729272006-11-10T18:54:00.000-06:002006-11-10T18:54:00.000-06:00I was just thinking about Evening Grosbeaks.

There is definitely a dividing line between north and even more north right through Minnesota.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
