I'm glad you're following on your reader despite their usual delay between posting and listing. I hope you'll be back to visit again soon. :)<BR/><BR/>• Moi, you always say the kindest things.

Well, I'm not exactly sure what the numbers were, but something like that).<BR/><BR/>I was surprised to see that I made the first comment - I read you via my Google Reader and it's got a big delay between when you post and I see it there. <BR/><BR/>I also went "Doh!" when I saw the Gil Chesterton answer...he was one of my favorite occasional characters on Frazier, which is one of my all time favorite shows.ohdawnohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01995493308490806364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2629654067597010887.post-13384795916133111842009-02-08T13:36:00.000-05:002009-02-08T13:36:00.000-05:00• Thanks kindly, Doris.

I did nothing but photograph it though. Nature gets all the credit for that. Thanks for stopping by. :)<BR/><BR/>* Thanks very much, Susan. I'm glad you like the photos and lyrics. Thanks for your kind comments. :)<BR/><BR/>* Thanks so much, MPM. Much appreciated. :)<BR/><BR/>* Thanks kindly, Scribbler. I'm glad you enjoyed the post. Thanks for the visit. :)<BR/><BR/>* Thanks, Heather. It's a great tree and the sun beckoned. Thanks for stopping by. :)<BR/><BR/>* Thank you for the always-kind words, Cheffie. :)<BR/><BR/>* Thanks very much, Clowncar. It's a great album and doesn't get old. Thanks for the visit. :)<BR/><BR/>* Thanks kindly, Shammie. I'm growing really tired of our double-digit sub-zero temperatures too. It seems to hit single digits for a day or two and then just plummet again - like today. Saturday is supposed to warm up some. We can hope. I don't mind the snow nearly as much as the cold. Ah well, spring will come. I hope. ;) Thanks always for the visit. :)<BR/><BR/>* Welcome, Barbara and thanks for the kind comments. :)<BR/><BR/>* Thank you, Andrea. I'll take all the warmth I can get. Thanks for stopping by with such kind words. :)<BR/><BR/>* Thanks so much, Sandi. I'm glad my photos cheered you. I'm right there with you looking forward to spring. It can't be too much longer now. At least the daylight is lasting noticeably longer these days. Thanks for your very kind words. :)<BR/><BR/>* Thanks very much, Sully. Of course I say nice things about you in others' comments sections. You're one of the nicest (despite your penchant for ripping your award donors apart) and funniest folks out here in the blogosphere. And yes, I'm just as glad you didn't include me in that pink porcupine award - especially since there are RULES. I don't follow those very well, as you can probably tell. Thanks for your always kind words, Sully. Mucho appreciated. :)<BR/><BR/>* Thanks very much, Mansuetude. If I'm lucky, I'll be sitting in front of that fire tonight. :) And thanks for the award. I've played along in your comments section - but you probably already know that by now. Thanks for stopping by. :)<BR/><BR/>* Thanks very kindly, Megan. I'm glad you enjoyed the post. Thanks for stopping by. :)<BR/><BR/>* Thanks for the re-visit, Susan. I'd love to see the photo you mentioned.

Yes, I am certainly fed up with winter, it seems to have been a harder than usual winter so far.

I love the contrasts between the seasons. I don't think I'd like it if the weather was the same all year.

Thanks for stopping by. :)<BR/><BR/>• Thanks, NJ. I'm really anxious to see some signs of spring too! The winter has hit that point where it has overstayed its welcome. Thanks for the kind words. :)<BR/><BR/>• Thanks, Angie. Much appreciated. :)<BR/><BR/>• I'm glad you joined me, Tabor. The fire is one of the best parts. :)<BR/><BR/>• Thanks, KC. I'm glad you enjoyed the post and the walk. You're welcome to join me anytime. :)<BR/><BR/>• Thanks kindly, Lime. I'm glad you enjoyed them. :)<BR/><BR/>• Thank you, Lauren. I'm not so sure that spring can come here too soon for me though. Thanks for your kind words. :)<BR/><BR/>• Thanks very much, Kathryn. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the visit. :)<BR/><BR/>• Thanks kindly, Leenie. I'm glad I found some of your favourite lyrics to accompany the photos and that you enjoyed them. Thanks for stopping by. :)<BR/><BR/>• Thank you, Baggie. I'll do a book when you do a full length movie of AntiFit's antics. <BR/><BR/>• Thanks so much, Protege. I would love it if you painted one of my photos. That would be so cool. And I'm glad the post appealed to you so much. Thanks for the visit. :)<BR/><BR/>• Thanks so much for the kind words, Russell. I'm glad you like the photos. Thanks for stopping by. <BR/><BR/>• Thank you, Jinsky. That tree is a beauty and I was lucky to get a nice sunset going at the time. I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)<BR/><BR/>• Thanks kindly, Gary. We've had quite a bit of snow so far. The banks are far taller than I am, making shoveling quite difficult. I hope some of it melts before we get hit again. Thanks for the visit. :)<BR/><BR/>• Thanks very much, DS. I love Eva Cassidy's version of the song far better than Sting's so it was a given for me to quote her as the performer. Thanks for the very kind words. :)<BR/><BR/>• Thanks so much, Pat. I'm glad you enjoyed the photos. We've warmed up for today too and the sun is shining brightly. It's just not going to last more than a couple of days before the temperature falls again. Thanks always for stopping by. :)<BR/><BR/>• Thanks for the kind words, MT. I haven't heard kd lang's version of the song but I've been trying to download one as I'm typing this, and having little luck so far. I'll keep trying though. Thanks for the visit. :)<BR/><BR/>• Thanks kindly, Sue. The rocking horse and fireplace belong to Frank. There isn't too much of a story behind the horse. He picked it up at a garage sale this past summer. He finds things that "talk to" him. Look up at the header on my blog to see more of his conversation pieces. ;) Thanks for stopping by. :)<BR/><BR/>• Thank you, Catherine. I thought the exact same thing about the pine cone when I saw it - that it looked like shingles to me. I'm glad I'm not the only one. ;) Thanks very much for the kind words. I'm glad you joined me on this walk. :)<BR/><BR/>• Thanks, Reb. Trust me, you don't want me to sing to you. There's no fire's roar loud enough to drown that out. Thanks for the visit. :)<BR/><BR/>• Thank you, Eaton. I'm quite anxious for spring myself. Thanks for the kind words and for stopping by. :)<BR/><BR/>• Thanks so much for those very kind words, Cath. I've missed you around here. I hope all is going well with you. Thanks for the visit. :)<BR/><BR/>• Thanks very much, JC. Your kind comment is so much appreciated. :)<BR/><BR/>• Thank you, Dave. I'm glad you enjoyed the post. And you're welcome to our snow any time. Just say the word. ;)<BR/><BR/>• Thanks for stopping by, WIAW. I think snowshoes are a great idea. We sure don't have the depth of snow that you do, and our paths get semi-cleared, and are well-trodden. But up your way, snowshoes sound like a must. Thanks for the visit. :)<BR/><BR/>• Thanks so much for your very kind words, Sandy. I'm glad you enjoyed the photos from sunlight, to the late night fire. Thanks for stopping by. :)<BR/><BR/>• Thank YOU, Kate. I'm so glad you enjoyed the post. Thanks always for your visits. :)Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12787493532006658679noreply@blogger.com
