I don't mean to be a thread hog, so I will be brief. I just read GEL's mention of walks on their property, and a light went on over my head. W & I recently took a walk that turned into a very good day (it was more of a slog, as the snow is very deep, and more so now) I will try to get W out for a walk on Sunday morning, maybe convince her to try out the snowshoes I got her for Christmas. On the rare ocaisons that she is home, she looks out the windows wistfully. We have a nice piece of land, and she is a bird fan. I will spend tomorrow making a bluebird house, something we have been meaning to do for a while. It will fill my need to do something, and will make her want to stick around to see the baby bluebirds
