I've got two winter activities for you--whether your winter days are snowy or sunny, both should be good for these. The first is the latest "rage" in word games. If you haven't found it yet, it's called Wordle. Your task is to find the day's five-letter word. You get 6 chances and only can play the one time each day. This is what the board looks like. Your first guess is just anything you want and the color of each letter indicates whether or not it is in the word and, if it is, if it is in the correct position. Lots and lots of fun, especially trying to figure out your strategy! Click the ? in the upper left for directions on the colors. The link is here.
The second idea for your winter/spring/summer, really all year round hobby, is this wonderful app. from the Cornell Ornithology Labs. It's name is Merlin (see logo below) and it offers casual as well as serious bird watchers, assistant in finding what is the bird you're looking at! Part of this app. for your phone is a short download to take a photo of the bird, another to tape its song. I can't wait to try it.
If you enjoy seeing birds and wish you knew all of them, let alone their songs, this may finally be the answer. The link for the app is https://apps/apple.com/us/app/merlin-bird-id-by-cornell-lab/id77345673
