I'm happy to see this thread. I had not found it before, and it (hopefully) is just what I need. Been in quite the funk lately. Reminders are key. Thanks everyone.

Happy for the hibiscus displays and counting the birds for Cornell University.
Well, not counting birds makes me happy! Oh, I love calling to them, and having them call back, but dyslexia and ADHD do not make for a good counter.This thread helps me in the same way. Plus it gives me some insight into the characters of other B&Bers.
And a chance to reflect on the upsides of my own character.
And I can banter with @FarmerTan. That reminds me that I don't live in the midwest anymore, that the snow here generally stays in the mountains where it belongs, at angles suitable for skiing, and THAT MAKES ME HAPPY!
I need to update that!That's great!
Start from the beginning, if you have the time. It's a lovely read.
Also, another one of my favourite threads to revisit is @MrSmith 's journey into pipe smoking. Does that make me weird?
A few other threads come to mind. @FarmerTan has one about shaving like his grandpa.
And All I found was a rotten tomato in my garden! (Oops, I told @lancre to kick me if he caught me complaining!)
I hadn’t thought of it as sad. We four are so happy to be again meeting after a forced hiatus because of COVID. Our other brothers are still with us in our hearts.Thursday is breakfast with friends. We’ve known each other since ‘66. There were six of us. Now four.
I count using eBird on my phone and iPad. When you finish counting, you hit the submit button and your counts go to Cornell.I admire birders who are good enough to do the counts, my mother-in-law is one such. Birding is a very big interest for her. After retirement, she did a long online study program with Cornell.
Do you regularly count for Cornell? I was aware of the Audubon New Year's count, I would like to find out more about Cornell's counts.
Amen. They may have a seat at the Best Place reserved for y'all!I hadn’t thought of it as sad. We four are so happy to be again meeting after a forced hiatus because of COVID. Our other brothers are still with us in our hearts.
