Since we live in a "new home construction" neighborhood, we only have 3 neighbors at this time.A week or so ago, we visited all of our neighbors ... with a plate of chocolate chip cookies in hand, of course. The first couple in the subdivision moved in in May 2008 and they are actually from Maryville, IL....just over the river from St. Louis. The second family moved in 3 weeks before us from New Jersey. Dan and I moved in October 4th. And, the fourth family moved in the week after us ... local Floridians.
But, not long after that, Henry and Gladys moved in. They are Sandhill Cranes and we LOVE them! They are great flyers, a little noisy at times...but they are so cute! I have heard that they are just "snowbirds" (so to speak), but if they do head north for the winter, I hope they come back. They are a great addition to the neighborhood!

I've enjoyed reading all of your comments about getting settled in your new home! Best of luck as you continue getting to know your new surroundings! I love the excitement you share!!
Don't you just love the cranes? We have several that hang out at school--one day in the spring one walked right up to my window, like he was looking in. It was amazing.
