Grey, Cold, & Windy

Well, it is a cold, grey, and windy start to today.
But, it will warm up some.
It is honestly a great day for a vigorous hike that will push you physically as the cool and wind will help you from overheating. Just be careful if you stop for a break!

Oh, and yesterday a chipmunk was making the most of the bird seed raid, when he found himself noticed, only he was at the bottom of the seed bin! So he just stayed as still as possible and pretended he wasn't really there, hoping we would catch on!



MORE EARTH DAY
Today GWLT will be having a table and a presence at the latest of the local Earth Day events. It is more like an Earth Fortnight than a 24 hour day!

Today's location will be the Ecotarium, which is exciting given the land conservation work the City, the Trust, and the Ecotarium have been engaged in. Crow Hill, across the street from the Ecotarium has become a considerable City conservation asset!

If you are going to be there stop by to say "Hi!"
