Mimosa-A Loss and a Gain

Andrew made me a container today from the wood that he saved from our mimosa tree that died last winter; probably due a combination of old age and extreme cold.  Hated to lose that tree but loving the bowl. Andrew said that he will never again us mimosa wood for turning because it splinters badly and isn't easy to work with.

Shelby

I keep saying no more rabbits.  It's hard to adhere to that when there is always one in need of a home. Dumped by someone who doesn't have the good sense to re-home the poor animal.  Meet our newest rescue bunny-he's about 12-14 weeks old (based on a physical exam) and weighs about 2 lbs. He either escaped or was likely dumped out near Utica, OH in the boonies. He is a friendly little guy and we've named him Shelby after our friends Shelly and Brian as he took refuge at their farm and they were kind enough to help him out. He's a blue Polish.

Once you read the story-at the bottom of the page there is another link and if you follow it you will see another photo of us and if you click on /continue reading you will see more photos. Honored to have been asked to share my treasured memories!

Early Snow Storm

This morning I took my camera to work because it was just beautiful outside. I got some really nice photos of the students and around campus. Several people told me or Andrew that my photo (below) was featured on the channel 6 news Monday night but we didn't get to see it and I'm not sure who sent it to them.

Andrew was interviewed by our local television station recently. This is actually his second stint in a 4 part series about resource management in the parks that will air in its entirety next June.

Here he is with our Emmy award winning Karina Nova from 10TV
