New Year's Resolution Status

How are you doing on your New Year's resolutions? I have completed 3 of my goals for 2022, and begun 14 (some of which can't be completed until the end of the year).


Poetry in Microfunding:

There is one open epic at present.

"Rainshadow Road" belongs the Daughters of the Apocalypse series. It has 41 new verses.  By the next morning, Maggot is doing slightly better, but his friends are worrying.


The weather has been cold here. We got freezing rain at one point, but it melted off the next day. Seen at the birdfeeders this week: a large flock of sparrows, several house finches, two pairs of cardinals, a couple of mourning doves, and a squirrel.  I saw 4 fox squirrels just now, one of them Bob.  :D  They're chasing each other around the forest garden and hopper feeder.
