We pretty much spent the day recovering from the Florida trip and the holidaze in general. Back to the drudgery of reality with a dash of winter weather thrown in for good measure. Last night we went to a New Year’s party that had us up to after midnight. Rare thing for us anymore. For us wild and crazy is keeping a library book past the due date.
Just a wild and crazy Okemos lady feeding the birds.
Lise and I got out to Lake Lansing Park for a little walk in the snow. So far we got the usual suspects, red breasted nuthatch, white-breasted nuthatch, black-capped chickadee, tufted titmouse, American crow, and blue jay.
In the next few days we need to do some planning for the upcoming year. Last year I just barely made my goal, in large part because we mostly chased things instead of doing some advanced panning. Eisenhower had a great quote about planning. “I have always found that plans are useless but planning is indispensable”. That’s pretty much how I feel about it too. Can’t count on the birds to read and follow our plan but at least we can try to maximize our chances of finding the little devils. We can make our plan but then it is adapt, adopt, and improve. And we’ll count on Barb dragging us out in ungodly weather to find things.
