Moss, But It's Green, and Two Month Reports

 

One more picture to share from my Bowman Lake adventure. I love how GREEN the moss is.



And now... drum roll... I know you've all been waiting to see how poorly I did on THE LIST.

It seemed like there were too many interesting things happening at the end of January to break them up with a goal report, so now you get two months lumped together. I'm not overly proud of this, but I did a few things.
