wrapping up the end of the month

As i  note, it is not always the road that causes the driving  problem but more often, it is the treacherous walk   from the kitchen door, down the back steps and walk.  Then getting to the car and  from the driveway to the highway.     Add the fact that everyone of us is getting older, making slippery walks and driveways more serious than when we were young.  ...Country living....what can ya do!

Well, this last day of the month of January 2011  is mostly over. while it was cold, only in the 20's, the enclosed front porch was a cozy 74+.   i sat outside with the dogs and did a little sewing while i waited for a friend.  Finally had to come in as i had a black sweat shirt on, and was getting overheated.

The bad weather is about to return, but first, some photo's from around the house.
