Woodpeckers & Co.

Ric had his fifth knee surgery in November, and my health took a nose dive. Now, after two months of doctor’s appointments and ongoing tests, there is a pause. I am ready for rest.

Freezing rain set in today, followed by snow, so we are snuggled inside with the dogs and a warm fire.

Outside, the birds are enjoying the feast.
