No it is not all that warm yet and there are only pussy willows in bloom. But the birds have all shown up all at once. There was a flock of robins on the lawn and the geese and ducks are flying over head steadily in the morning. I have commented before that we seem to be on some kind of a flight path for ducks in the early morning. I watch bunch after bunch pass overhead when I walk out to get the newspaper around dawn.
I have also been presented with a flock of opportunities all at once and am trying to sort through them. A nearby college has asked me to consider serving on their board of trustees (I am honored and flattered) and I have been approached about serving as the president of the local chamber of commerce. Since my plate is already pretty full and neither of these opportunities comes with a paycheck the decisions are not easy. Especially given that I already serve on two volunteer boards that take some time and effort. I had made a rule that I could only serve on three at any one time and even that seems like more time than I have to give at the moment. I don’t know what I will do in the end but I do like having opportunities to consider.
I am mulling all of this as I begin the transition from full time lobbyist to full time guide. A transition that is always pleasant and full of anticipation for the coming season. Not to mention a less formal wardrobe. I hear from clients further south when the stripers have started to run in their areas which helps to get me thinking about the coming season.
