Day 188

July 7, 2021

A day of telling stories. 

How many nests have fledged this week?  I can''t answer the question.  I think at least 4 of them.  I will double check again tomorrow.  But there is still 1 in the 3 nest condo.  He is just hanging out up there going from limb to limb.  I wonder if its a Mom wondering where everyone went.  Is it empty nest syndrome? 

We have dragonflies accumulating, eggs are hatching. 

I saw ducks, herons, red winged black birds, and cardinals.  I saw starlings, and cowbirds, swallows and an indigo bunting.   I also saw a hawk who I stopped to talk to and confused the cars behind me.

And the goats were out and they look so healthy and happy, their little tales wagging away.  

But I was nervous about work and so I did not actually go for a ride.  Plus it was 93 and sticky and I don't like it.  We did not get a big storm but the temperature has dropped considerably.  I hope to get a ride in tomorrow in the cooler temps.  I did get my car back and that is a big relief.  And I did facilitate the workshop tonight and was pleased with it.  If people are interested in following this project I'm working on, go to www.ECHOgreenfield.org and give it a looksee.  We'd love it if more people joined us.
