Check out my daily blog for the month of January 2020 (Wookooch 2020). Each day shows some various activities that I do in science, art, nature, culture, land stewardship,
culture, education, ecology, economy, health, and in learning about holistic good, morals, and beyond. I post a photo every day. Enjoy!

My Daily Blog for 2020 January / Wookooch: Daily Blog
Happy 2020. I started out the new year right, by sleeping overnight outdoors, in a debris hut. Usually still, I sleep indoors, in a bed. (See photos of debris hut, in my daily blog.)
In the January blog, I post some quotes, that I've collected over the years. Plus, I post a few books (about community and nature) that I have read and I am currently reading. (See more quotes in my daily blog.)
Our village life would stagnate if it were not for
the unexplored forests and meadows around it.
We need the tonic of wildness.
- Henry David Thoreau, Walden
Nature's first and last lessons teach man to be kind.
- Mary Baker Eddy, Miscellaneous Writings
All natural areas are our teachers
and great sources of
inspiration, learning, and beauty.
- Tom Brown Jr., Apache Tribe,
The Forgotten Wilderness
It's been a warm winter month, this January 2020. I've seen the Woolly Bear Caterpillar and Bluebirds, active, this January, in Michigan. One day was 60 degrees F (15 C), and a few kids jumped into frigid Lake Michigan. Other days have gotten only a few little snowfalls. Most days, there was no snow on the ground. On January 10, it rained 3 inches and the Galien River surged 3-feet-high. But, eventually, it was more like winter. January 19 was the coldest day in January - the morning was 9 degrees F (-13 C). We got a few inches of snow on the night of January 17, plus a few more on January 19, perhaps 6 inches (15 cm) total. (See photos of woolly bear caterpillar, Galien River, and winter scenes, in my daily blog.)
Enjoy the weather where you are. Happy New Year.
