January is not usually like this in Wisconsin. According to the La Crosse Tribune, only 5 inches of snow have fallen since winter began, while we normally have nearly a foot and a half by this time. When was the last time you felt nearly 50 degree temperatures in January? It's nice, and I'm counting my blessings as I walk on a snowless golf course and savor the cool south breeze.

New life in the marsh
Just saw my first baby turtle of the year today. He was in the road and I picked him up. So tiny! I took him down to the edge of the marsh and put him in the water, and he quickly swam away.
I also saw my first baby Canadian geese this year! They were very small and so cute, swimming between their parents. They swam past another goose on the lookout on the edge of the marsh and he swooped past, neck out, beak open, in warning. He must've been guarding a nest! He then swam along, beak in the water, parallel to the family of geese as if to say, don't go past this line! This is my territory! The parents kept dipping their heads, warning the threatening goose to keep away.
