It is quiet in the office today, so there were no complaints for taking a little longer during break to linger in the woods and recenter. It was quiet except one or two Bluejays calling in the distance.

There is only one reason I like this cold season. The bald eagles start congregating along the open parts of the river as the rest freezes over.

Sadly our local forest preserve had come through and hacked a lot of the trees and shrubs just before the freeze. Hope no critters were relying upon that for any winter resources. Guessing come spring time it will be a lot more open with only a handful of old trees left. 😢

Even in the cold, I love getting out to these woods by my office whenever I get the chance. My walk through the woods is more to refresh my soul than to get any exercise. So glad I can frequently reconnect with nature, even if it’s only for 10 minutes at a time. /|\

New here for this account. Using this one to separate my spiritual interests from my main account.

Looking forward to connecting with people that follow the old ways.
