Jane, I know to count myself very fortunate indeed to still be gardening as I can on my rump. Each year becomes more of a challenge. My kitty, Precious, loves to perch on the floor to ceiling tree stand I installed for her in front of a picture window. From her perch and my recliner, we enjoy sitting together watching the birds come to birdfeeders on a large tree near the window. Today a vibrantly colored Colorado cardinal took turns with a few sparrows and pidgeons sampling the birdseed. Cocky little fella' but also gallant for sharing space. Smiles
