Back from lunch, starting to snow..that along with the wind makes it mighty cold..brrrr have the chills now..

Judy, your brother had best take you serious..I know fromexperience when someone goes missing you are like a bloodhound...won't stop till you find them..lol..

Shar beautiful birds...while Noah did his french homework last night I was going through one of my design books, the one with the live birdhouse feeder Judy and Liz did with me, the squirrel feeder then they had a blue bird house..they said that not so long ago they were all but extinct because they no longer have homes..gave the dimensions and it's really quite a simple project..front opens up for cleaning..specialty hole in the front but what was interesting is they suggested that once the house was put together you should take a rasp and roughen up the hole at the bottom..this allows the little ones to be able to fly in/fly out having a grip on the rasped edges....made me thing..usually when making birdhouses I sand and sand as not to have a roughness when really I should be doing opposite..

Anjl thanks, I work hard at the gardens but then I go visit Bernice across the street, our dear Carol and I shake my head, so much more I want to do..but, each summer it get's prettier..last year the lady who owned the house dropped by..it was a shack..yes it was...when I moved in..no more than 3 or 4 flowers that randomly dropped their seed was on the property so to her she saw what I had accomplished in 4 years..that made me feel good...

GPS is marvellous..Greg has one with several computer chips, uses it for his snowmobiling and also for boating..tried to teach me the boating one so it would be easier when I take the boat but too many much info shows there, lol, then seeing the rocks, sand beds etc. made me more nervous..

AnnMarie, there you go again, feeling just a bit better and you are off to pour cobblestones for the garden...yikes..best you be the boss and let someone else do the work

Trisha, you'd not be able to sleep all day unless you needed it..omg, got to find that box..we were all careful when I moved but still I lost several boxes, never to be found..Does Sage like her room? is everything still in boxes..don't you hate that stage of moving..half the stuff I moved should have gone in the dump..things I'll never use..got rid of lots but have much more to rid myself of..this weekend think I'll undertake cleaning all the kitchen cupboards..

With nothing to do this afternoon I went and got a photo out of my wallet, some photo copy paper and am playing with sketching Noah when he was aout 2..pencil lead isn't moving well because it's on regular paper but it's giving me a bit of knowledge in how to get the darks and lights..
