Julie & Julia - Why can't I blog every day?

So I finally saw the movie. wish I had known about the blog. I have Julia's cookbook. It is large and VERY heavy. I used to watch the TV show. I learned many things from that show. I always wished I had a kitchen like Julia's.I still do not have a copper bowl to whisk my egg whites.

As for followers to my blog, I doubt that I have any viewers or readers other than those who visit the blog through Waymarking.com so I know where Julie was coming from. I would be shocked and delighted to learn that someone actually reads this.

I should commit myself to blog daily. I geocache daily so why can't I blog? Mostly because I don't have anything "interesting to blog about" on a daily basis. I don't do anything interesting. I get up every day, walk the dog, get my daughter to school, find a cache or maybe two and come home. I do some house work (which is boring) read email and play games on FaceBook. Pick up my daughter and find something to make for dinner on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. None of that is "interesting".

My daughter and I monitor Western Bluebird Nesting boxes in O'Neill Regional Park and I have a few boxes in three parks near home. It has been a strange year.  Our best box in O'Neill has fledged 4 chicks already and today when I checked, Momma is sitting on 5 new eggs!  



Our box by the creek has momma and 5 eggs as well. I am worried about that one as I think they SHOULD have hatched by now. Her first clutch died and we don't know why.







 



Our box in Monte Vista fledged at least 4 chicks and they too have another five eggs as of yesterday.  AND the box I hung from the eaves of our HOUSE has a nest in it too! Sometime between last Tuesday and yesterday, they little birds built a nest! The female was sitting on the box yesterday when we were leaving for school. She had her beak FULL of grass. My husband saw the male on the bird house when he was leaving for work.







We placed a new geacache in honor or memory of the TEN trees (and that box location) that were removed last November to make way for a NEW Park Monument sign. I made it a Multi Cache with in the field puzzles. "For Ten Trees" http://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC5WBAZ_for-ten-trees?guid=ab5fa02c-3a29-491b-8dc9-77beef010d61  I am very happy with the fishing leader that I used for the final as it is nearly invisible!  I also like having a cache so close to home. If another cacher has trouble, I am usually home and can go help them if they need help.

I have had some cachers comment that they wouldn't have figured out this "puzzle" with out a hint form myself or a fellow cacher who had already firgured it out. It makes perfect sense to me. But, I was the one who came up with it. I don't mean for this cache to be difficult, I just want to point out the corner where TEN trees were cut down so that the City could have a "Landscape Enhancement" for the park.

I will try to blog more regularly.  I continue to wonder how blogs get discovered and then become popular.

Until next time - watch for the bluebirds and cache on.

Waymark Visited, Again

sigh...

once again I have not blogged since we received the alert that our Waymark (to this blog) had been visited.

Nothing much new. 

Bluebird season again.  Someone in our club already has chicks in at least TWO of her boxes and we only have five eggs on one box.   Oh well, maybe next year.

I finally have an instrument that can play the Munzee game.  AND we are in a clan,  We started on March 23rd and are level 14 as of today.

Going to Tahoe soon and hope to roll Munzee into the Geocaching we will do there.  There are also Waymarks and Letterboxes but, I fear that I am the only one who cares about them.

The next to last LOTR geocache published yesterday and none of my family even wants to go look.  (I am not sure that I want to go alone for it).

Everyone else is happy to be playing their video games.  Which reminds me, Foxhound finally got me to play some Fable III.  I made it to my second achievement.  At least in this game there is a "trail" to follow.  Still I just do not get these kinds of games.  I want to go outdoors.  Only my dog wants to join me but, he can't go with me all the time.  He LOVES sniffing EVERYthing.  This makes it nearly impossible for me to do anything but let him sniff.  At least it is a slow pace (usually) so I can take in all the scenery.  Listen to the birds.  Watch the birds.  Stuff like that.

I wish I could remember to blog more.
Until next time our Waymark Blog is visited...
