Reading:
A Year in the Maine Woods by Bernd Heinrich - I just started this, so I don't have much to say except I like the cover! After this one I plan to read Wife in the North by Judith O'reilly, which I read about on the blog Lesley's Book Nook.
Watching:
Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe
I've really been enjoying this show, especially because my kids and husband like it too and we can watch it all together. Other reasons for my enjoyment include Mike Rowe's sense of humor, voice, and muscles. ;)
Listening:
Music-wise, January and February are always odd months for me. The holiday music stops and I never know quite what to play. Many of my favorites, like Jack Johnson and Chris Isaak, seem a bit too summery this time of year. I've found this soundtrack to Imax's The Living Sea featuring Sting is perfect background music for cleaning, relaxing, or whatever I'm doing in the winter months. My kids also enjoy having it on when they are playing or doing crafts. The songs are so peaceful, and they remind us that winter's bleakness is only temporary.

Beth recently mentioned this author, and in fact uses a quote from the book you are reading in her blog header:

I gave Tom Winter World one year, but neither of us has read it yet.
Alison, the author of the book I wrote about yesterday is someone you've probably heard of - Frances Hamerstrom. Famous ornithologist who lived in Wisconsin. If you type her name into google, there are some interesting pieces on her.
Hi Nan,
I was so happy to find that my library has Walk When the Moon is Full. I'm sure to love it, and I bet my children will as well.
I love Chris Isaak too and Sting/
