OK, I have been busy

It's been a good kind of busy.  So nice to be making some money for a change.  I just wrapped up a big project and treated myself to a new computer.  I cannot wait for it to get here.  Meanwhile, I took the day off and did some hiking on the property.

Spring is definitely here.

We have seen a ton of eagles this year already.  This one looks to be about 3 and is taking a bath.

We have had a lot of flooding this year and this huge 50' tree was deposited last week.  It will be a great place for us to observe wildlife.

The wood duck pair has been hanging out here for the last few days.

They are so secretive. 

Back on the property there are lots of new waterways cut.  Here is some new beaver action.

We saw the tracks of deer, Great Blue Heron, Green Heron, Wood ducks, Common Merganser, Coyote, possible bear and beaver.

We actually saw the Great Blue Heron, Belted Kingfisher, Common Mergansers, Wood ducks and Hooded Mergansers.

Lots of frogs were hopping away as we got near, not too keen on having their picture taken.

Nothing has been happening on the house front.  We did refinance and have the money for the fence and gate so that should be happening soon.  I have several many projects in line waiting for me to get going on them but something always comes up.

I have to do a better job of managing my time at home now that I work at home.  I do have my office in a separate room now and that helps but it is hard to tear myself away sometimes.  What makes it even harder is that I love this job, a dream job writing about birds.  I couldn't have wished for a better job.  It will give me the needed cash to get on some of these house projects that need to be done.

It will be a big help now that the days are getting longer.

My husband has joined the land of blogging.  So now I can nag him when he hasn't gotten around to posting.

Glad your dream job has worked out so well for you. Hurrah! Your walk around your property is inspirational! I see lots of cool things here but nothing as cool as eagles and wood ducks! Wow!
