It may seem a little thing, but with a bad back and hips, I did an excellent job. My laundry baskets did the job. I filled one at a time, each seated on the icepacked ground As I filled one, I'd push it with my foot, my hand on my cane to give me more power, vroom vroom ( Read more... )

I had a relaxing morning, doing some loom preparations. Abe and I went over to Walmart and got some bird feeders, sunflower seeds, niger seeds and suet for the birds. I hung them out on the front porch so I could keep my eye on them ( Read more... )
