Amazing capture of the magnificent wing span! I just love this story...he is being quite a guy, indeed...tme for Edith to lighten up on him a little, but her business is serious business...he has to cooperate! #8976733

We just bought some new living room furniture...I know how Edith feels. They do remind me of the original Archie and Edith. Love your devotion to this pair - I have learned a lot over the last year and have enjoyed watching you get better and better at documenting their lives. #8976857
