Deb, can't you wear glasses? I do. I can't imagine not being able to see the plants & wildlife very good. But DH has Macular Degeneration and he's pretty much blind without his glasses and even with them, he sometimes has problems seeing. The VA gave him the coolest huge magnifying thing with a really strong light...I use it sometimes to see really tiny things!

Bonehead said:I switch out the suet (winter) and hummingbird (summer) feeders but offer mixed seed in tube and open feeders year-round. I get different birds throughout the year, some year-round, some seasonal. My eyesight is not the best so I often don't know exactly who I am feeding, but they are all entertaining. My two escape-artist chickens clean out the overflow/rejects below the feeders so I no longer have birdseed seedlings popping up.

I used to have porch speakers to listen to music while working outside, but now I prefer the birds.
I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority. E. B.White
Integrity can never be taken. It can only be given, and I wasn't going to give it up to these people. Gary Mowad
