This is why I haven't been feeding the birds this winter. Don't really think it's right to risk falling. For some reason these new knees have made me stronger in many ways... I can get lots more done because they don't hurt anymore. In other ways they've made me into a big wimp! I don't want to risk damaging them and going back to all that old pain. Now I know why Frank had the feeders on the back deck. It may be messier for the deck but it's much more user friendly for the person doing the feeding.

That's a lot of snow! Beautiful! I'm glad that you're careful with your new knees; take care of them and they will take care of you, right? love you MOM!
By the way, what was the heating pad for?
Also, I love your flickr badge!! =)
Maybe you could change to Grumbleknees... Oh well just a thought... My sweetie is cautioning me about feeding the birds because the News on TV said not to because of the Avian Flu... I think it is only the migrating birds in spriong and fall... and the only ones I like that migrate every year are the swallows and you don;t feed them. Beautiful back yard snow.
Jan - Your dad really encouraged me to have the second one replace last year, remember? He said he would take care of me until May and then I would be 'on my own.' We didn't know I'd REALLy be on my own by end of August!
Nat - the heating pad was for my sacroiliac! I think I bruised something the other day when that desk chair dumped me on the floor. I find a couple of Tylenol a couple times a day works better than the heating pad though.
Osray - Grumbleknees! I LOVE it ;-) About the Avian flu - a doctor friend of mine gave a talk on the dangers in the U.S. right now. They are minimal. He told me if we feel a need to avoid any birds it should be migrating water fowl.
we have no snow...yippee
