Well, I certainly have not been consistent about making blog posts.   Began in January and now it is April.  I keep saying, "I want to write", but it doesn't appear that way.  I always have excuses- tired, too busy with work, will do it tomorrow, blah blah blah.  
My life is a mess and out of control.  However, somehow, I have managed to lose 14 lbs since the holidays. I actually seem to have gotten my relationship with food under control and now when I eat a lot I feel so yucky physically.   I still want to lose about 10 more pounds, but to have lost 14 is a huge step for me.  Now if I can just get into a regular exercise routine.
Today, there were 3 pelicans on the lake.  It was very cool to see them. I saw something REALLY BIG flying over and then suddenly there were 3 pelicans. Swimming in formation and they would all dive under at the same time.  I looked them up on the internet, natch, and learned that they fish communally in small groups, as they can chase the fish to each other, so that must have been what they were doing.Unfortunately I did not get a photo of them.   By the time I got the camera and got the bigger lens on, they had swum out of sight and I did not see them again the rest of the day, so they must not have stayed long on the lake.
I crawled out through the underbrush and perched on the oak tree at the lakeshore and got some distant shots of the wood ducks and the great egrets, but not as good as I would have hoped.
