I never realized how much I talk out loud to myself. Isn't that a sign of impending old age? I hope not. Today I said good morning to the Cabin as I walked in. "Are you ready for another day?" I asked. Then I apologized to a Bearington Valentine's Bear when I inadvertently knocked it off the table. I actually introduced the plush bee Valentine to the Bearington Bear dressed as a squirrel. I told them to play nice.

I have decided this is only a sign of cabin fever. I did get out yesterday and walked around outside the Cabin. I wandered down the back lane to the Wyalusing Creek and saw it has iced over and the water is running underneath. Beautiful. I have been noting and keeping track of the bird's nests I see in the trees around the Cabin. They are hard to see with the leaves on. I now have a fourth pair of cardinals feeding.

For those who are on the Cabin's email list, I sent out the week's specials. Come sit a spell so I don't have to talk to myself!
