Happy New Year!

A new fresh year – 2017!  January 1st was a beautiful sunny day with fairly mild temperatures for January.  The above snowman was built December 31st by Diana Nevers and family – but I noticed it lost its head yesterday, due to the warm weather.

The lawns are covered by a blanket of snow – everything is white. Fitting to signify the start of a brand new year. I do not make resolutions – I guess that is my resolution. Like many others – I would like to lose weight and get more exercise – but I am not making a resolution. It is what it is, and I have been struggling with my weight for most of my life.

I went to the movies to see ROGUE ONE – A Star Wars Story with friends and my mom. It was good. I will not say more because I don’t want to give away anything. I had heard some say it was better than any of the original Star Wars (Episode 4, 5, 6). I would not go that far – but it is very good.

After the movies, I stopped by and picked up my sister Jackie to visit over my mom’s for the rest of the afternoon and have supper together. I dropped her off and popped home to grab my camera and saw one of the local eagles again and snapped a few photos.

Today, the Christmas tree comes down. I usually take it down 1/1 – but I was too busy and have today off for the holiday. The rest of the decorations will come down little by little during the week. I have been saying that I am going to vacuum for days and haven’t – so that is one of my next things to do today. It is another glorious day – mild and sunny. I need to squeeze in another Eagle Loop. I have been very lucky with sightings over the past few days. I hope I am as lucky for the official New Hampshire Audubon Winter Eagle Count that I am a volunteer (1/14/17 is the day).

Well, I better get to those chores! Happy New Year, Everyone! May it be filled with much Happiness, Love, and Health!
