I hope you are good sports ...

First off, I must say, I'm sorry. Shortly before I wrote my last post, I was watching the news with DH - well it was on and I was in the living room to talk to him, anyway. I don't like to be political, it's not me, but Mr. Trump was on the news and the talk was about him wanting Mexico to pay for that wall. Sigh ... You guys are pretty good eggs for trying to be helpful with a cranky old lady. My sons were not so sympathetic and a friends even said, "Good luck with that!" Has there been any consideration for walls on the Canadian borders? How about mines or something in our coastal waters? You and I and the fence post know who will pay for said wall. Argh.

The good stuff - It's 5:30 and still light enough to see to walk around outside. The days are really getting longer and the weather averages have begun their slow winter temperature climb. One degree warmer for lows and two degrees warmer for daytime highs.
Promising. We almost have January kicked, but February will hold some surprises I'm sure.

We have a new bird feeder. This one holds a bunch, so DH doesn't have to go out there every day. Visitors for now have been Sparrows, Cardinals, and RW Blackbirds. A few other odd ones from time to time. I don't see that thin cable holding up any better than the other one. I cleaned the window and was promptly rewarded (or punished, you choose) by one of the birds slamming into it.

I finished watching Damages with Glenn Close and Rose Byrne, and a host of names in smaller parts. I really liked it. 5 seasons in 5 days! I should have dragged it out, but I couldn't wait to see what happened next!
 
Have a pleasant day, night or in-between!

Changing things around ...

No, I haven't taken the sticker off yet. I'm in no hurry - it's attached to the protective plastic on the case. Let those beetles make their mess on that and then I'll rip it off ...

Son was here Saturday and helped his dad move the TV to the wall opposite the headboard of my bed. I was getting a crick in my neck with it on the right of the bed. This works fine, although not pleasing to the eye right now. The antenna works for the WB CW and I get three (yes, 3) APT (Alabama Public Television) stations quite clearly. (Nothing else) The TV has a DVD player and I can hook my computer up to it as well. We'll figure out a good hanging place for the antenna and square up those cords later. I like it. I have a lot of home movies on DVD and regular movies.



Jack thinks this is his bed ...

 Have a good week!
