Our version of retirement: Living a childhood dream

I know you miss it but you have seen for the most part, it is better to be in town. You still get to enjoy the snow, chop wood and have a fire in the house. Mrs. Gary'O is right there making good soup, homemade bread and the sweets you love. You are living large without as much hard work and you are in safe environment. If you need medical attention, it is there, the grocery store and your garden provides for you all year. I think you have got it all figured out!!

Best not hang too long under those boughs
Getting a neck full one time, is enough of a reminder what that hood on yer coat is about

My sister lives in a small town between Corvallis and Eugene. She and her horses have been dealing with the white stuff, too. Are you near that area?

They're on the left side of the Cascades, in The Willamette Valley
Probably Lebanon or Sweet Home (?)
They get cute snow, measured in inches
We're in southern Oregon, east of the Cascades
We can get dumped on
But I'll take the white stuff any day
They get black ice
That stuff'll mess ya up
 
Oky, not for me to question an artist, which your are but I was reading one of my blogs from the UK today. This woman's husband had built a bird feeder for her garden. It was free standing, about five feet tall. All of these branches that curved together and became one. Along the way there were a couple of bird houses stuck in the branches. There was also a little landing that a planter could sit on, or a water dish for the birds. What do you think? I know you could make that and it would sell well!

That sounds glorious!

If I did make one, I don't think I'd sell it
 
Finding a place for my new creation spurred me on to look around

Wall space ain't there
even in the shop

too much junk

Heh, my grands from Redondo Beach were here for awhile
Granddaughter (about 20) had a look around the other room in the shop
said 'Wow....It's like a museum in here'

I couldn't argue with her
