Seven Swans a Swimming
We saw these beautiful swans last week in Medford. One appeared to be trying to camouflage by stepping into the snow to hide. The younger swans were feasting on berries from the shoreline bushes.

It’s a great spot for bird watchers.

| How Replacement Windows Improve Energy Efficiency The transfer of unwanted warm and cool air from your home adds hundreds of dollars to energy bills every year. Replacing windows can be a cost-effective way to prevent this air loss and save on your overall energy bill.  |
CONCERNS WITH SINGLE PANE WINDOWS
With it being the middle of the coldest months of the year it’s important to considersealing windows for winterweather to better keep your home warm and cozy without running up your heating costs.
