We spent the end of the year walking, eating, going to movies and enjoying our surroundings. The weather had been pretty cloudy, cold and windy. It was so cold that I even had to pull the flannel lined jeans out of storage.
The end of the year was pretty cold and windy here in the Valley. Of course it is pretty cold and windy across the country. New Years Eve we woke up to the temperature at 61 but in Birchwood it was -18. So I guess we can not complain even though tomorrow (Jan 1, 2018) we will see a high temp of 40!!
It was a good year to visit with friends and family. We made new friends but we did lose my oldest brother in October. I will miss his calls and laughter.
We are looking forward to 2018, no New Year Resolutions for either of us, we would just break them anyway!
Bird count: We ended the year with 587 birds, we added 31 new birds this year. 40 new year birds added make our year count at 384. We were trying for 400 but fell short. finally our month came in at 186. Actually pretty good month. There were a number of birds that we could not identify and a number we could not just find!
