no flowers here

just snow and more snow

the birds were wild about the feeder today

nearly emptying it out 

in a few short hours

with the squirrels dashing around the ground

then trying to get past the baffle

then climbing a small tree...

grand entertainment for Mom

she's been stitching

reading (letters and short articles)

practicing walking without her walker

testing the peanut butter fudge I made

some easy days

that we both enjoy

Birds & Books

 

Books have always been

at the top of my favorites list

my reading list is

longer every day

 

For so long this

is year I found I couldn't read

fiction...only Alzheimer's care books

my mind wouldn't focus

I was always too restless

 

The only escape

I could find was listening to

audio books

when alone in the car

 

In the past week

I've been able to recover my joy of reading

the escape from this world

in to another...

finally I can relax

 

It's especially nice to sit in the living room

keeping Mom company while

she and Melrose watch the birds

Olivia beside me on the couch

 

 

 

Mom is stitching a little

in between bird and squirrel watching

 

I'm still loaded down with paperwork

so not much stitching

hooking will have to wait even longer

because I make such a mess

you have no idea
