Among the rest of the animals

You can find me grazing about with the rest of the creatures this weekend at the Saugerties Farmers Markets' annual Farm Animal Day. Last year was nuts (in a good way) so don't miss it! I will have my regular sales going on (except I'm almost out of my $2.00 One Delicious Buzz soaps) plus… Continue reading Among the rest of the animals

From Yellowstone and back

So it's been several weeks since I've returned to my norm but before I bring us totally up-to-date, I thought I would fill you in on the happenings post-Yellowstone. From Yellowstone, I drove seemingly forever to Fort Collins, Colorado to stay with one of my best buds for a few days. I'd never been to… Continue reading From Yellowstone and back

Today I bid my beloved Yellowstone adieu and drive 7.5 hours (it’s actually 10 for me since I drive slower than molasses in January) to see my friend in Fort Collins, Colorado for a few days. After that, we drive back east together. Leaving here makes me feel ill. I don’t want to go. I’m… Continue reading Yellowstone: July 19th, 2013

Deb, Andrew and I got an early start since we had no idea what this catchment had in store for us. All we knew of Gibbon Meadows is that Andy and his crew had to stop surveying when they hit a large, confusing wet meadow filled with beaver dams. Needless to say, we were concerned--me… Continue reading Yellowstone: July 18th, 2013

Riddle Lake, my old friend, opened for the season today but only for about two hours. Normally there are nesting swans in Grebe Lake which has led to previous teams not being able to survey the lake and its surrounding wetlands but it appears that the swans moved to Riddle Lake this year. I guess… Continue reading Yellowstone: July 17th, 2013

I spent the bulk of my morning reading and writing. Then I decided to make the most of my last free day by planning a hike of some sort; that is until it started raining. So I waited out the rain by going to the Lake post office and the Lake Lodge for some brief… Continue reading Yellowstone: July 16th, 2013

The hike into the Grebe Lake took one blazing hot hour. My stomach was already killing me from last nights pizza, not to mention the lack of sleep so I wasn’t as enthusiastic as I should have been. Don’t worry, I gave myself hell for my bad attitude the entire walk in. I haven’t forgotten… Continue reading Yellowstone: July 15th, 2013
