Winter arrives in February

It looks like a winter wonderland with all the fresh snow outside my warm and cosy retreat. The birds are really enjoying the feeders now and keep me entertained as I sip my morning coffee. It will be harder for me to get about outside with my trusty walker but I have lots of help from my friends to keep me upright. 

 The annual Family day celebrations progressed regardless but very quietly with discussions of how to properly make a pot of tea! I entertain myself with baking cookies to have with the tea. The wild parties are on hold until the spring!

Getting by with a little help from my friends

Another friend came to stay for a couple of days and helped me experience more in life than the focus on the KNEE. A trip to a bead store always helps to brighten me up. Two bead stores even better! She encouraged me to walk outdoors today to the local mall for a toasted Western. How pleasant to get out after a month indoors. The jewellery making tools and materials are now all set up and we had fun experimenting with the jolly felt balls that she made.
