@sueinmn, and all...Glad you like them. I do too. I'm pretty much at the point of cleaning and repaving the patio, adding a few plants along the inside of the fence after having a short wall installed. Then, I'll put pots and plant plants and relax and enjoy as long as I'm here.

Next week I have 4 window companies coming by to give quotes. Then, I'll contact paving co to do the patio. I enjoy puttering with the plants and feeders, an occasional cup of coffee or tea in the morning, maybe iced tea in the afternoon. No entertaining at all, it's just me and the birds. Don't need anything like heaters or fans or whatever...just my flowers and birds. Simple and easy and not too costly.

First, to the bank for a loan. I am feeling better almost daily, so maybe I'll be able to get these things finished. The week after next is the plumber. Then, clear out storage.

I pray to keep the energy level and improve so I can actually get these important projects completed...after 20 years!

Was ckg the feeders earlier...a new and quite large yellow-green tanager was sitting all alone on the fence, looking it all over. Several doves were in the grass outside the fence. They're probably congregated now feasting and enjoying life. I do love it.
Blessings to all. elizabeth
