When we first got Bud, I couldn't find him anywhere. I looked and looked then I felt someone "looking at me". I looked up, and there he was, still as a statue, "hiding."

I love seeing all these bright colors! So welcome on a snowy day!! Gives me hope that spring will come again. Mine is a hibiscus I am over-wintering in my house.

socks, I have done 18 puzzles since this past November 1st. I have a lot of time to fill. Other than doing all the cooking and most of the dishes involved, keeping the laundry done up and the clutter of an expert clutterer organized, I don't do much at home. I can do some very light household chores but dh does most of the cleaning and all of the yard work. I am not a daytime tv watcher at all, so I fill the time between chores with reading and puzzles.

In the yard behind our house.While the larger sand hill crane dines. Those neighbors put that out for the cranes and the squirrels.
