A Sunny Day Walk :>)

Well gang we did get some "D" from the sun today. Warm too!

This is the church that boarders our property and it's cemetery

. Very quite here today . As you may or may not know our bee yard is at the the back of the cemetery so I have to walk the edge to get to the bee yard. The church and cemetery looked picturesque so I took a shot With some warmth I figured it's time to open some of the bee hive entrances so that the bees can get out and do a cleansing flight ... You know, get rid of bee poo. That's if any are still alive. I might get a better idea tomorrow if it warms up to 50 and they fly...I will see the poo out on the snow

Had to dig down a few feet.

While digging did see some frozen bees outside of hive...a good sign because I cleaned the entrances in the beginning of January and those bees not there (out front) so still could be alive

The snow acts like insulation keeping the warmth inside, the bee's are trying to keep inside of hive warm by eating honey and moving wings at high rate

Jake and Bailey got a little run around time too. LQQK who's not on a lead!

Bailey is doing better off the lead but still not 100 percent. A walk in the pasture

"RUN FOREST !!!!! ,RUN!!!!!"

Til next time Gang.......

Welcome Friends

After suffering a heart attack in 2007, it became clear that I had to make some lifestyle adjustments. We were already owners of a rustic cabin in upstate New York. Once we established that my retirement from my job as Secretary to the Chief of Police on Long Island would be a huge financial burden we decided that moving permanently to our unfinished cabin would be the best way to make the necessary changes for my health. After securing "permission" from our youngest daughter, who at 13 would be making the move with us, we made the move in June of 2008. Our four oldest children still reside on Long Island, along with our families and old friends. It has been a tremendous journey, both physically and emotionally, but we've done it! This is the story of our journey, and our ongoing experiences as middle aged lovers of life. We are truly all in this together! Jennifer

Memorable Senior Moments

Today I drove to town for the purpose of picking up a fresh vegetable for dinner. I came home with seeds for the garden, half off chocolate easter eggs, wrapping paper and bows, tape, sponges, garden nippers, bath salts, doilies and facial cream, exfolient and baby oil. No vegetables.
Today I spent a serious amount of time trying to change the channel with the cordless telephone. Scary.
Ever bought reading glasses? I did last week, and in church I was looking down and realized that for ONE WHOLE WEEK I had left the strength sticker (2.00) on the glass lens. Ah, senility. What else can we laugh at?
Have you ever walked around in public with a pair of sunglasses on and your reading glasses propped on top of your head? And then realized you needed to read something and walked around for twenty minutes or so looking for your reading glasses? And all the time they were on top of your head? Me either.
Getting lost in Peebles Parking Lot. Not confused, Lost. I now understand what the "Panic" button is on the car opener. Interesting.
Forgetting WHAT I was going to add to this list. It was something. Oh yes! I spent a considerable amount of time looking for my theatre keys, which are on a long loop. I called home, and Jerry asked "Are they on your neck?" Yes. They were.
