Every year I say we're going to do the Christmas bird count, and every year we miss it. I suppose this year will be no exception, but one of these times, gosh darn it! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14828734577233109789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129064848004232361.post-33841651096211438902014-12-16T06:57:13.112-08:002014-12-16T06:57:13.112-08:00I know, it's easy to overdo this time of year....I know, it's easy to overdo this time of year. We keep our little celebrations fairly simple--with a small gift or treat or a meal--it's no fun if it adds to the stress. And when the holidays don't fall on the weekend, we move them to the nearest Saturday or Sunday.<br /><br />The Christmas Bird Count is an annual Audubon Society tradition. People all over the country go out on a certain day in December or January (designated by their local chapter) and count as many birds as they can see. It's lots of fun and great citizen science!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14748454816480995214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129064848004232361.post-71646245368088587182014-12-16T02:54:33.668-08:002014-12-16T02:54:33.668-08:00Wow, what a weekend.

We have yet to throw that festival into the mix, it feels a bit much for my little man right now, with it being in the middle of St. Nicholas and Solstice. We kinda need the down time in between the two of them. But maybe next year...<br /><br />I laughed out loud at those snowmen, the one behind the car, too funny. <br /><br />Your early morning quiet sounds lovely, it is one of my favourite times of day in our home. And the bird count, how wonderful. Never heard of a Christmas Bird Count, but what a great idea!<br /><br />Hope you are enjoying your week.Kim https://www.blogger.com/profile/08476209107377395745noreply@blogger.com
