January 18--the rising creek
I had the day off today, which was good, because I had a paper due this evening, and hadn't started it yet. So I washed the bedsheets and did all sorts of other stuff to put it off.
I went for a walk in the afternoon along the creek near our house. It is one of our favorite places to walk, and we enjoy being out there with nature. After a couple of storms, today turned out to be a fairly sunny day.
We had some hard rain last night, and today the creek is about as full as I have seen it in a number of years. Generally this area is just a small stream, where the turtles sit on downed tree branches and sun themselves. I sent this picture to Malida at work and she worried about the turtles. "They're fine," I assured her.
Here's what the area looked like this summer. They eventually released a little water so that it didn't completely dry out, but it was close. I was worried about the turtles and all the other wildlife that lives along the creek back then. I am so glad we are getting some significant rain finally after the three or so drought years. You can see everything just soaking it up.
After doing everything else I could think of, I finally sat down and wrote that paper and submitted it. Piece of cake.
And now Glenn Frey. Dammit.

did you move in the past year? Somehow your living situation seems different. I'm sorry I have been so bad at keeping up!
