My first three days of the Wild Christmas challenge are
fairly simple. I am an outdoorsy person anyway, so it isn’t hard for me to get
outside to do something, but I have liked having a reason to do so. I have lots
of crochet projects and other craft things going on, so it’d be very easy for
me to avoid the outside world this week.
Day One; Momma P and I went up to Plot 31 and fed the birds
and fox, and I also hung a homemade suet, lard, cheese, mealworm, peanut &
mixed seed feeder. We made it in half of a coconut shell.
Day Two; David and I went for a walk to a new part of
Cannock Chase (new for us). We saw a buzzard flying low over the heath, and
looked for deer tracks in the mud. We have both been ill and I had a wee
hangover so it was only a short walk.
Day Three; Another day, another walk. This day was our
two-year anniversary and instead of doing what we usually do (a mooch around
the Wren’s Nest in Dudley so I can get more fossils that I don’t need) we
decided to go for a walk up Kinver Edge. I’ve only been here once before and I didn’t
walk anywhere, so it doesn’t count. David and I did a circular route along the
top of the sandstone ridge, saw a small cloud inversion, spoke to some dogs,
and I admired some long yellow catkins. I love catkins, they remind me of my
childhood.
Four days left! I am posting my daily pictures on Instagram and
Twitter. What are you doing to have 7 Wild Days?
