Natures MusicYou might call me old. But we put up a couple of bird feeders in front of the house by the bay window a few years ago. The birds are cool to watch. Somehow, they know when I fill the feeders. It is amazing how each year the variety

The Power of the Right ToolWhen I was younger the most important concern was saving money. So, I did a lot of projects and repairs using the few tools that I had. Sometimes I knew there was a tool to make the job easier but could not afford it.
