Color Me...Blue
When I read the email, I knew I wanted to be there, so I signed up immediately snow or no snow! Offering a program on Bluebirds, in an effort to continue their comeback, participants would help prepare for the their return by learning about their habitat and build a nesting box!
Not far from home, the James L. Goodwin Conservatin Center offers year round activities, so when I tell you that I hung out with "the forest people," I am referring to the Friends of Goodwin Forest.
To ensure that I would not miss the presentation, I even booked the Pres for a ride to and from just in case I couldn't make it with the Mini. It seems that our gravel road has now become a luge except it is much wider, of course.
The presentation will be dedicated to the comeback being made by the Eastern Bluebirds here in CT. Thanks to the many individuals who have both encouraged the nesting and feeding of the species. Although the numbers of European Starlings can (and do) scare them away, thanks to the efforts of many (us included), their return is happening! (Bluebird Basics)
Although I never gave it much thought before, another thing I just realized...my Mini is the same color as the Eastern Bluebird!
Needless to say, I was so excited and so looking forward to attending the program, not only to listen to the Wildlife Naturalist on Bluebirds but also to build my own nesting boxes!
Packing my small camera (so I could share the experience with you later in the week), I had my tools ready...hammer, my # 2 Phillips Head screwdriver and my tape measure...all packed away in my bag...all ready for the next morning.
However, I never made it!
Apparently, I should not have spent so much time chipping ice on the walk and driveway because I re injured my back the day before.
When I attempted to step up to come in the house, the muscle spasms I got were incredible! I barely made it in the door let alone to get the muscle rub and heating pad before I hit the couch. The Pres was not home when it happened and he insisted that I stay put until I totally mend.
Do you know how hard it is for me to stay still?????
YUCK!
Emailing Emma to tell her I would be unable to attend and to give my spot to someone else made me sad....really sad.

Color me blue
Yet, my back was not the real issue.
Saturday morning the Pres was admitted to the hospital via the ER, which is why I haven't been around to visit you.
YES...COLOR ME BLUE
