Retirement isn’t half bad.  Two weeks “vacation” from my volunteer job is very nice!!  Some days I do physical things–like “downsizing”–and some days I play around all day on my laptop computer.  Almost all day (!!), I have been exploring the various themes available for my new blog.  I wasn’t terribly happy with the first theme and wanted to see options.  What do you think??  (Confession: I didn’t get out of my pajamas until noon and the bed is still not made at 4 o’clock.)

I often spend hours watching the squirrels and the birds. Yesterday, one fine furry friend climbed the brick wall and crawled into a sunflower seeds bird feeder (hanging from the eave). I think the squirrels should be content with all the food I put out for them–especially the new, expensive, whole peanuts!! The bird feeders are off-limits!!
