Bobbie, don't they have any in Ireland? You should come home for the muck race at Montezuma and then you could see the Sandhill cranes. I must say now that I've seen them they are one of my favorites!
Ponds of mud! Geysers of mud! Pool needed to be drained. Yup! No landscaping in the back and no stones yet - it's a mess, but no where near what it could be!
Yikes Janet! So sorry to hear this. I hope it doesn't sustain any damage in the process.
