It was a special visit, I'm sure.

I also admire how much time your staff spends together learning and having fun. It's a wonderful balance. Your school must be a great place to be.

I love the field notes sketch. In another life, I would've loved to be a botanist. But nothing can beat the surprise visit from family! I missed your birthday in my absence from the blogging world...so Happy Belated Birthday to a wise woman who I am lucky enough to have as a colleague and friend!Christy Rush-Levinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15581876400990779210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-33831790567490346112013-10-20T08:19:54.482-06:002013-10-20T08:19:54.482-06:00Thanks Tabatha.

So many good things going on. You have a great mixture of personal and school, fun and work. <br />On a different note. I switched to Bloglovin after Google Reader and for some reason your posts don't show up. For a while I thought you were on a break, but then I realizes that you kept blogging and I just missed your posts. Now I know to check in to read.

First of all, the joy of being at a lodge in the mountains would be wonderful.
