thanks for alv

I had a couple of hours stretching my shovel and rake today, but more keeping warm for another good session tomorrow really, you know, keeping my hand in, as they say....can't have too many days off!!

So, no pics from me today but I did find these beauties and pinched them from someone's Facebook wall.
All I can say is there are endless reasons, quite a few in respect of the below place, that I thank the universe for alv.
