  3. Love your 12 Days of Christmas! We are waterfowl nuts too!
    We moved from Miami to North Georgia 30 years ago, mainly by choice but it made my husband's work easier as well. I never regretted the move... until this morning, that is. When I walked the dog it was 27 and the wind chill was 11! I came back into the house and said to my husband, "What exactly were we thinking when we moved here?" LOL This too shall pass, but for now it's pretty horrible!

    PEACE!
