What do you enjoy about getting old?

mid forties and loving where i’m at. I hurt. a lot. Helicopter pilot.

I always thought having a bird bath would be neat. last year we had a small tree die. had a ag disc laying in the yard so i sanded it down and painted it up. turned the tree into a birdbath.

Keep it filled with water. not much out here in east CO for birds. so they make a mess of it each day.

really didn’t think i would enjoy sitting around with a cup of coffee w/ heavy cream watching birds. Makes sense, i had some yellow ear sliders i had to leave at my mom’s house in one of my moves. with ina few months she could tell the different personalities between the two. and refused to give the turtles back to me.
 
As you get older you learn to appreciate the simple things in life. We have a fountain in the front of our house. It’s not as fancy as Zorba’s. It attracts lots of wildlife. Lately there’s been a falcon playing in it. Humming birds and other birds bathe in it. Even the local squirrels drink from it. Like I said simple things can bring joy to our lives.
 
A good happy hour. We used to go out and party all night. Anymore a good happy hour with a drink or two, some food, home by 7-8 pm, and in bed asleep by my usual bedtime hour.

My wife's sister and her partner moved down here 3 years ago and we've been taking turns every other Friday at our homes. My wife's sister-in-law 's sister moved down here recently, and between them and our 2 puppies, I'm surrounded by 6 ladies at happy hour. YAY!!!

Dating is far better when older, no family building expectations, no contractual government involvement, & lower T, you’re free & able to add someone to your life if & only if they enhance what you’ve already got going on, otherwise they can go pound sand
