February 12- 19, 2024
This has been the Februaryist February ever.
We’ve had a few days of sun and warm temps punctuated by clouds and rain.
Those warm, sunny intervals have been good for sighting critters. Gators and turtles gather in the afternoon sunny spots.
The white ibis have been clustering around the shallow edges of Cypress Wetlands. They splash, eat, and preen. They’re entertaining to watch.
Fairly soon the birds will be building nests in the trees in the islands in the Wetlands.
This weekend was typical low country February highs in the 50s and gray. Those cloudy days are rough on energy levels. Some days it’s difficult to even get off Lailia.
We were motivated on Saturday morning to workout at the Y before our regular bagel brunch. I even made it out to Crystal Lake Park for a bit since it’s on the way to the grocery store.
Sunday, however, was a true day of rest: I stayed on Lailia while John went to hit a pickleball for a while.
