Equi - actual conversation just moments ago with my wife:

"So, there's someone on the board that is putting up a feeding platform for turkey vultures! Wouldn't that be -"

"No - don't even think about it."

Darn wife - she's always holding me back
Women. We are challenging at times. We can be incredibly difficult to live with while being incredibly difficult to live without.

My goals for 2010-
Learn to make my own soap, deodorant, lotion, shampoo, and lip balm
Learn to use my Hawkins Futura
Select vegetable seeds to start inside
Learn to grow more of my own food
Purchase more food from farmers markets
Purchase more organic food from grocery stores
Visit two natural areas with our little one
Register our little one for one nature camp

Sadly, 2010 and all subsequent years are going to be a bit boring for me. There's no more room for plants on our postage stamp property! Somehow just sitting back and watching it all develop doesn't seem very satisfying...

Know the feeling. I've run out of winter activities myself. Things will get busy again shortly. Meanwhile, looking for something to keep me occupied, I submitted a volunteer application to help at a couple of the local state parks. I stopped at one a couple of weeks ago for a quick hike, and invasive exotics are all over the place. If I don't hear something by the next big thaw, I plan to chase down the volunteer coordinator.

heh heh I did the same thing! I'm just starting volunteering for the WNY Land Conservancy and writing some things for the Botanical Society newsletter.

You could always sell your place to somebody who appreciates it and move to a bigger lot to start all over again... (nyuk nyuk nyuk)...
