We spent all day today and all day yesterday battling the surpise snowstorm and bitterly cold winds to visit the Mohican area for the Mohican Wildlife Weekend. We disected owl pellets, observed song birds, learned about Louis Bromfield, listened to a lecture about the natural history of Ohio, banded migratory birds, became enraptured by raptors, listened to Johnny Appleseed tell his stories, made dream catchers, watched a living history play, dipped beeswax candles, marveled over a composting toilet, took in a lecture on epitherapy, ate barbecued chicken, learned about beekeeping, planted seedlings, looked at amazing nature watercolors and carvings, sang campfire songs, made flint into arrowheads, and swung each other around this evening at a barn dance!
Today's Kudos go to Houdin, who didn't want to square dance but did so for his mother, because our square needed just one more couple. He danced and danced and danced and then danced some more, even after we stopped forcing him. He was actually disappointed when it was time to leave, but poor Bard was suffering from a splitting headache.
If Bard can recover, we'll go back for more of the same tomorrow!
