I have had all sorts of beautiful birds throughout this cold season. No matter how snowy or frigid, their colors and spunk gave me joy and provided a much needed outlet to the constant sameness. Yesterday a frequent visitor was hanging around and I think wondering when the sun would appear again

For any number of years I worried about everything and was the queen of sweating the small stuff: it was my job I thought, and it was always in my nature. So whether or not my efforts made a difference, I continued to work really hard to make things perfect and get in and out of most circumstance

Soon, my contractor will be here again to take the mouse or mice from the basement, clean my garage and give me an estimate to sheet rock and paint the wall that was damaged with ice jamming. I am looking forward to seeing him and moving forward. Yes, I saw a mouse in a trap and no I couldn't han
