Finally home--and so glad to be here! It was quite a shock to leave behind the budding trees and flowers for the north woods and three feet of snow! Spring is peeking around the edges of winter here at camp though. The birds are singing joyfully and the flocks of siskin/goldfinch are growing. There are two pairs of mourning doves now; I hear them calling softly to each other throughout the day. Jeff spotted the eagle pair near camp again----what a treat it would be if they have a nest nearby!
I made chicken and dumpling soup last night--I was dying for something hot and homemade after travelling all week. It turned out to be awesome soup if I do say so myself. Tonight I'm making ham and bean soup....and I just might throw some big fluffy dumplings on top of it just like my mom used to make.
Abbey started school this morning---her first day at Munising High School and she was so nervous! Poor kiddo....I remember how it was to be the new kid once upon a time. Heck, I'm the "new kid" here...I can sympathize.
We have guests this morning, so I am off to make some zucchini bread and catch up on all the camp duties. To everyone who wrote to find out if I was ok this week----thank you! It makes me happy that you care :o)
