darchildreForgot to post yesterday - remembering to do so every day is harder than I thought.
This is compounded by the fact that I'm trying to do more stuff that involves not staring at my computer screen. I wrote a couple of letters yesterday - I got new fountain pen ink for my birthday, in a beautiful shade of greyish-blue - and I have secret Christmas knitting that I'm working on. (Mom and I also watched Arrow, which involves staring at a different kind of screen. It had Captain Boomerang in it as well as the Flash and was thus thoroughly enjoyable. (Alas, we didn't really get enough time to develop personality for Digger but I don't care, Captain Boomerang on my tv.))
I'm also starting a new and mildly ridiculous project. See, I stumbled across some sites on making a nature journal the other day and was intrigued by the idea but thought, "Oh, but I'd have to go somewhere else for Nature." But that is, of course, stupid. There is plenty of nature to explore right outside my house, especially considering the Wasteland (the stretch of undeveloped land behind the back yard where I used to walk my dog). So, starting today, I'm going to go out and look at the Wasteland and find out what all lives back there. Besides the Scotch broom and blackberries, of course. It is December and everything is dead and frozen, so it will be pretty challenging to identify things at first, but I think making the effort will be fun.
