Last week was a series of vet visits while getting Leia’s health issues back under control (she’s OK, just old dog stuff) and this week was a mix of long working hours, recovery from last week, and poor sleep due to Leia needing to go out to pee more often now with the new meds. Here she is zonked out having a good sleep in a weird position:
Oh, I almost forgot another reason we were feeling it this week, the time change where we lost an hour. That’s a big contributor and it was an unforgiving week to have it as I had two days with early meetings to boot. However it does mean later sunsets and the photo below was taken after 7pm.
We also had snow (nothing that stuck at sea level though) and lots of new buds and blooms to watch come to life.
About all I managed for a bike ride was this short one to the PNE ponds not far from home. Now that I’ve started tracking what birds I’ve seen (and making note of where to find the local ones I haven’t), I was paying attention while here and heard a couple that I’ve been after: varied thrush and brown creeper. I heard them both repeatedly but never saw them, so nothing added to my tally this day.
