Have you ever used a Hobonichi ? I have a 5 year going (on year 3 now) and mostly document birds, flowers, bugs, weather events, etc. It’s not surprising (but still totally mind blowing) when the same natural cycles happen at the same time each year
Have you heard of phenology? https://www.usanpn.org/about/phenology It's the discipline of noting these incremental changes among plant and animal life. I've been informally doing it in a journal for a couple of years now at my place (we've been at this home 5 years now). I understand the sadness of letting go of a place, especially the growing things.
Whoaaaa, "nature's calendar"! I did not know this name for it - thank you for sharing it with me! The growing things are the hardest to let go - it feels like I'm abandoning them. But I hope their new stewards will be loving and attentive, and I know there's more seeds to be planted in my future.

IKR? I was blown away when I found there was an entire discipline around paying attention to the natural world around us. 🤓
