This week has been very hectic and I've felt a bit out of my gourd. But there's no school tomorrow and we're spending the long weekend in Door County. Some fresh air, beautiful foliage, crisp apples, long hikes -- I think that's exactly what I need to recharge and feel like me again.

October 19, 2016 (293/366) Meet Bacon!
"I think we love bacon because it has all the qualities of an amazing sensory experience." - Alexandra Guarnaschelli
Today was CCR Day @ PHS (College and Career Readiness). We hosted professionals from within the community, and although I was so happy to host the photographer/entrepreneur from z2, I just had to visit the veterinarian who came with Bacon -- yes, that's her name! Bacon is "Pretty in Pink" right down to her hoofs! Click here for Bacon in Action.

"Hunting wasn't a just sport. It was a way to be intimate with nature." - Ted Kerasote
My dad was the ultimate outdoorsman. He loved hunting, fishing, camping, boating -- anything that enabled him to commune with nature. I never really understood the allure of the hunt, but I always respected Dad's love of nature; and, of course, I doted on the labradors and beagles that joined our family to help Dad hunt ducks and rabbits respectively. Dad would have loved Piper -- she's supposed to be a rabbit dog (and she love that too), but these days, her favorite sport is "duck hunting."

“Softly the evening came. The sun from the western horizon like a magician extended his golden wand o'er the landscape; Twinkling vapors arose; and sky and water and forest seemed all on fire at the touch, and melted and mingled together.”- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Evangeline
