Walking is the perfect way of moving if you want to see into the life of things. It is the one way of freedom. If you go to a place on anything but your own feet you are taken there too fast, and miss a thousand delicate joys that were waiting for you by the wayside. Elizabeth von Arnim

Visitors at the feeder

A picture from yesterday's walk
🌻     🌻     🌻
It warmed up over night and in the morning when I walked it was 37 degrees.
A very light misty rain was falling but it soon stopped and was just cloudy.

No route again just walk all over town.  The icy spots from yesterday 
have all turned to slush.

This is the vegetable and herb garden down by the Drane house.
In the spring it will cleaned up and be growing.
Last year I helped weed it and get it spruced up.
Will probably help out again this year.
While walking I heard a noise and looked to see a whole roof of snow
come sliding down off a barn.  It was cool to watch but glad I
wasn't underneath it.

No one else out again.
I am thankful to be able to be outside walking.
Walked 6.2 miles
🌻     🌻     🌻
Lots of birds out back at the feeders today.
At one time I saw a woodpecker, 2 mourning doves, a blue jay, a few sparrows,
a couple finches, and a crow.
Also visiting were chickadees and cardinals.
Got a picture of the woodpecker.
Didn't realize I got the sparrow too until I downloaded the picture.
Ken did some work up at HT in the wood shop in the morning and I 
got a few things done around the house.

Then after lunch we went out and did a few errands down in Oakland.

A happy day to you.

Update on my Mom.
My Mom has pneumonia now and is not doing so good.  Her heart is getting worse and her body is starting to shut down.  They are keeping her comfortable at this point.
I know that Heaven awaits her and my prayer for her is that God takes her home quickly.

Karen - sorry to hear that your mom is not doing well. That is so hard. I lost my mom very suddenly in 1998, so I do understand. Prayers for peace and comfort for you, your mom and your entire family. Hugs from AZ.
