I think I will summarize the last two days by adding the photos...many visitors...many questions.. and time with Candice on a Snow day with Sophia and Braden. They (the little ones) had a quick lunch and we went over to the Works to share in the glass blowing demonstration wit JoAnn. JoAnn does an awesome job sharing her process with the children in a knowing and kind manner. The home school students ... were there with the families and the energy was kinetic! The snow came in in a flurry in the morning but with the warm temperatures in the afternoon soon depleted the beauty of this morning. I was already tired from the Weblos the night before... so a slow morning was very much appreciated. Today was a beautiful sunny day and the song birds were all in chorus announcing the coming of Spring. Today....Roxie chewed through her collar...again... and was off and running...the little vixen had me in tears. Without her collar and tags...no one would know who owned her as she galloped all over the hidden valley on our street. I walked up and down the hilly road to call out for her but...she was no where to be found. Just when I was ready to throw in the towel...she came running up to from the woods. I remained calm but I will have to secure a better and more safe collar to keep her in our landscape.
