She sounds like a really strong, healthy woman indeed. <br />We have always taken a lot of vitamins as well, Betsy. We try to eat well and exercise daily to keep healthy. We have registered to get the vaccine, but our area does not have enough vaccine. <br />The birdhouse was given to me by our grandson. He knows how much I love nature and particularly birds! Thanks for stopping by.

Woodpeckers have always amazed me along with owls, love those birds. I don't want the vaccine as yet, still thinking. Mom at 99 is eating and good as new with getting over the covid. She is not a worrier and never has been. Worry can make us sick too or make things worse. I think I take after her. I take my zinc and magnesium as always just as mom always has done along with a good amt of vitamin c. I wish I could get out walking more but the left knee looks like TKR. Hate the thought of that.

Our state seems to be running quite slow in getting the plan implemented. We are now in the group that can get the vaccine, but will have to wait until they are ready for us. I'm so glad you and your husband enjoy walking. It's served us well for all these years.

My husband and I usually try to walk at least two miles daily, but a lot is up and down hills so it is rigorous. I don't make resolutions any longer for the new year but I do try to promise myself to keep enjoying the gift of life as much as possible. I love seeing all the different birds that come to your feeders. I mainly see magpies here. My husband was able to get the covid vaccine here, as he is over 70, but I have to wait until 65 plus can get it. He had no reaction--felt great!Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoritihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922525910685129822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7664100447631245881.post-16074038091375827642021-01-16T22:01:09.168-05:002021-01-16T22:01:09.168-05:00It will be grand when we get the vaccine, won'...It will be grand when we get the vaccine, won't it, Linda?

It's a mystery to me! But I'm actually glad that they are full. I love to imagine you and Grayden lacing up your shoes and heading out in the cold for an invigorating walk and time in nature.

I'm so sorry. With so much sickness around us we may be headed for more severe restrictions as well. <br />I don't know what I'd do if we weren't able to take morning walks. Nature provides a balm for my soul. Our walks have changed drastically(to avoid people), but still it's good for us. Take care, my friend. xoxoThe Joy of Home with Martha Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02912198511168813613noreply@blogger.com
