Da Day Off
Feb. 16th, 2009 07:17 pmMostly mundane, cleaning barns, doing dishes, grocery shopping. I did get some reading and a little knitting done, and have an experimental baked mostaccioli dish in the oven, but no great things were accomplished.
Turned in our counts for Cornell's backyard bird census. They do it every year at mid-February. Our counts were generally down from last year, but I got a couple of things that were out of the ordinary. One was a tufted titmouse, who returned to the feeders several times this morning. I checked him out with binoculars to be absolutely sure, and that's what he was. Though the species should be in our area, we rarely see them, and they are attractive little birds.
The other was a V of Canada geese flying overhead. I counted 32 of them. We see geese frequently in spring, summer, and fall, but not so often in Winter and rarely in such numbers.
Reading a very funny book, but I'll save that discussion until I finish it. Back to work tomorrow, sigh. At least it's only a four day week now.
