Day 1125: Another day locked up

I didn't intend to spend another day on the four day hike, but I did.  A few parts just didn't feel right.  So, I went back and rewatched sections of the 2004, 2005 and 2008 videos.  The first two included video of our exit meeting and I was able to capture a few amazing comments.  Then the 2008 had great remarks at the filtration plant and the final celebration.  So, it's 19 pages, but I am much happier with it.

Then, I hunted down the chapter called The Outdoor Classroom which was tricky cause I had six versions of it.  There's not much to do on that one so I may be able to finish it in two days.

It's hard to understand how authors produce book after book in rapid succession.  Being stuck inside researching and writing for hours each day gets old and boring.  Even though I'm determined to finish, three months straight of writing has been challenging.  

Crazy weather over the last two days, temps up and down.  Yesterday was freezing, but sunny and the  critters were celebrating.  Seven deer charged through the woods, chasing each other in circles, leaping round and round.  I thought perhaps a dog was chasing them, but no.  Maybe it's rutting season?  Then they charged across the street in a column, but first stopped to look for traffic.

Then, one of our little black squirrels was nibbling seeds under the bird feeders when the turkeys arrived.  One turkey took exception to the little squirrel and chased it around the tree.   The squirrel tried to escape and snatch more seeds, but the turkey was determined to keep her away.
