I am having an eyesight crisis today and feeling every one of my years which I know isn't that much different than your number of years so I know how you feel! The grey isn't too bad, but I don't want to start dyeing it and have been living with grey for about the last 8 to 10 years I guess, not all over though, but enough. I feel like a right croc so I know what you mean. I guess that looking on the bright side, take the discount and run with it hey! We have to take what we can get don't we. On a cheerier note I love the idea of a book in the woods to record bird sightings, how great is that. Hope you enjoy the snow and that your weather is not to ornery in the next few weeks!Amy at love made my homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17111180584250029433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4062746784364845999.post-89451580857124121762017-02-04T14:46:33.640-05:002017-02-04T14:46:33.640-05:00Don't be disturbed about being called a senior...Don't be disturbed about being called a senior. Soon enough you'll be bragging about your age. Remember when we were young and we were 5-1/2 or 6-1/2? When you get a little older, you'll be saying 64-1/2 or 59-1/2. Age becomes a badge of honor.Patsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12493189870800125021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4062746784364845999.post-84727121776324073072017-02-04T09:40:07.852-05:002017-02-04T09:40:07.852-05:00Hello, Wendy!

We may need a new in our Maryland home soon. I agree with Lorrie above, age is just a number. Love the cute chickadee.

We are lucky here it's not long since I had my hearing aids upgraded and they are brilliant plus we get free batteries too, I think we tend to take things for granted in this Country. Here's another sign of ageing for you Wendy I have a cataract and I can tell it's getting worse seeing the ophthalmologist on Thursday haha happy days, have a great weekend. xxlindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00139295265567390855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4062746784364845999.post-14337531024114516662017-02-04T00:17:29.567-05:002017-02-04T00:17:29.567-05:00Love taking these woodland walks with you, Wendy. ...Love taking these woodland walks with you, Wendy. I think it's great that there is a binder for recording the sightings! I always get so sick of winter about now. We had to replace our hot water tank this past year. What a pain. I keep debating whether I want to let my hair grow out. I have been dying it since I was in my 30's (I was going gray by then) and am getting so tired of doing it. My kids are horrified every time I suggest that I might. It makes me laugh. They will be there soon enough. I guess we should consider ourselves lucky that we have made it this far, right?! Hope you get some sunshine for the weekend. xx KKaren @ Beatrice Euphemiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08631972741518142563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4062746784364845999.post-60372995884292507752017-02-04T00:15:17.796-05:002017-02-04T00:15:17.796-05:00Age is just a number.

It's amazing how time flies when you have to dish out money to replace things. Hope your new items work well for years to come. I enjoyed your photos.

Ha! I enjoy my silver/red hair. I earned each and everyone of the silver threads. Besides, being a Crone has it's advantages ... like Judith said ... take advantage of the senior discounts! Good luck with the furnace. In my part of the world, it's high efficiency AC.

However, take all the discounts you can get - which seemed to start at 60, particularly in Florida. lol<br />I'm just starting to get the odd little silver hair at the temples and continuing with highlights a few times a year will help with the transition. Like you, I plan to go au natural when the time comes which will eliminate having to worry about root touchups every couple of weeks. I have friends who do this and it doesn't appeal to me at all. <br />We paid for a new high efficiency furnace to be installed before hubby retired, hope it lasts until we move on. I would love to go to the 'hot water on demand' system our daughter in North Bay has, eliminates a bulky water tank and they never seem to run out. <br />Have a good weekend Wendy, stay warm!Judith @ Lavender Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16361061491506137380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4062746784364845999.post-39744597598284515972017-02-03T11:10:07.204-05:002017-02-03T11:10:07.204-05:00Love the snowy scenes both in the woods and your g...Love the snowy scenes both in the woods and your garden. Such a good idea to leave somehwere for people to write down their sightings. I'm grey and have been for ages. My Mum went grey in her 40s and me in my fifties, sometimes when I see myself in photos my hair looks so white it comes as quite a shock.

I think I'd be almost tempted to offer to watch Littles again just for the fun of doing all of those things I did with my kiddos. I think that keeps ya young right there. ;) <br /><br />When my Mom was going really gray (she had dark hair her whole life) - she started dying it lighter and lighter (still some color - but blonder). It still didn't look like she had gray hair and yet she didn't need to color so often either. Just a suggestion if you decide you wanted to go back to coloring. I think a really good colorist helps and then it can last 2 to 3 months! But I also get it if it doesn't really bother you too. I truly believe you're only as old as you let yourself feel. And you're one active energetic Lady! So keep that active time and your youthful fun soul and you're all set. Lol!<br /><br />Have a wonderfully blessed weekend Wendy! xoxocarrie@northwoods scrapbookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16337824046780952876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4062746784364845999.post-28013591891849077232017-02-03T10:41:36.191-05:002017-02-03T10:41:36.191-05:00Like fine wine, better with age!

I color my hair, sometimes, just the home stuff and it actually works quite well and doesn't break the bank.<br /><br />As for any 'senior discount' just go for it. It's still extra change in your pocket.<br /><br />Your chickadee photo is amazing. Likewise the forest walk with the toddlers. The binder in the box would be a great read.
