Busy morning! Did the AIDS Walk with my coworkers this morning (which was nice but quite shrimpy, basically a one mile walk around the perimeter of a park), then checked on one of my osprey nests, then stopped in at the library and put volume 2 of Berserk on hold, got some lunch stuff from the grocery store..... took a nap. Mowed the lawn, which I don't like doing this early, but if I let it get too thick and long my dinky little electric mower can't handle it. I was thinking of taking my seeds out of the freezer and planting them, but I think I'm gonna give them another week.

I'm thinking about taking a break from correspondence until I can finish this fic chapter, which is coming up on 3 months since the last update, yikes. If I really buckle down I could probably get it done in a week, I hope.

I've checked on my osprey nests twice now and so far only one of them seems to be occupied. But I'm still very happy with my choices, it's much better to visit two pretty coastal spots, versus a parking lot off the highway. The southern nest has an active pair (and I think I saw a third adult osprey in the area too, which is supposedly rare!), and as a bonus there's always a big flock of brants out on the water.

The northern nest has been empty so far, but I get to watch the redwing blackbirds doing their thing in the surrounding marsh, and it's always so nice to smell the salty mud and look for crabs. There are two trailcams set up in the area, I'd really love to know who put them there and what they're watching for.
