Things are improving. I’m feeling better. Not quite as down as I was.
I saw about a dozen robins in my back yard the other day. They were out there for a while so I guess they were finding plenty to eat. Apparently the bluebirds found the feeder because the mealworms are being eaten. I am going thru plenty of birdseed at my other feeders. I have a large variety of birds. Just don’t know what all of them are. I’ve seen a couple of purple martins checking out the martin house, but it doesn’t look like any of them have built a nest yet. The scouts come first so I guess that is who has been around.
The weather has been up and down. One day it’s 70, sunny and beautiful. The next day it is 40 and raining. We had 2 ½ inches of rain the night before last. Two days before that it was ¾ inch of rain. Today is sunny and nice, a little on the cool side. I just hope we don’t get a really bad freeze. I have daffodils blooming and the trees are starting to bud. Last year I dug up a lot of the daffodil bulbs that were scattered throughout the yard so they wouldn’t be run over with the lawn mower. They are the ones that are blooming. I am going to section off a part of the area in front of the deck and plant the bulbs there after they finish blooming. I have noticed there are a lot more of them coming up out by the pecan trees. I know spring comes early in the south. I hope it is here. I’m mostly finished with decorating inside the house. Now I want to get outside. I have a lot of ideas.
I’ve been getting things in order to do my taxes. That should be very interesting this year. In fact, I think I will have them done. I am totally confused regarding the state taxes.
I turned over the Des Moines website to the new secretary. I did enjoy doing the website, but since Jim passed away I think it was time for someone else to take it over.
I am going to start working on the family tree again. I’ve been thinking about signing up for Ancestry.com but not sure it is worth it. I am thinking about it. I have been trying to keep up with the updates. It’s the ancestors that have me stopped. Back to researching again.
Gotta go. Time to take my walk before the weather changes. I don’t walk far, just around the driveway a couple of times. I figure that’s better than nothing.

Those boots were made for walking,and that's what you gotta do! I havent't checked in for a while, as our computer was down, but it is now working better. I'm glad you are getting some projects done and you are feeling better. I think getting things done really helps the spirit. February can be a gloomy month. Thank God it is the shortest one. Hope the purple martins find a home with you. Take care of yourself, and keep on walking!
Love, Arlene and Bob
