Spring Into Action

After another busy semester, taking a billion credits and teaching freshman comp, I had a few weeks to catch up with family and get a head start on my thesis before my summer jobs got into full swing.

First, though, my official photo as a beekeeper...not that I am one. But someone needed to check to make sure they made it through the winter!


We made Michael and Autumn a canoe paddle for their wedding, and I made a block print for the beer we had brewed for the special occasion. We really enjoyed the Amtrak ride from Montana to Minnesota and back!




I enjoyed my second trip out to Sterling College (most awesome college ever) to work with Sandra Steingraber at Orion's Wildbranch Writing Workshop. It was fun to see Vermont again, Director Dave, my dad's cousin Rita, and the fantastic writers and scientists who accompanied me on a productive week of thesis work.
