A Local Farm

Today we traveled back to Holbrook to visit a farm that has an environmentally friendly planted area to help restore some natural area in the countryside. There is a sort-of consortium that is partially funded by the government to help restore places in farms to be more wildlife friendly. They see it as a way to be environmentally friendly and not hurt the farm’s earning power. Some local scientists were there tagging and documenting some local birds, and that is the picture I have below. Later that day we had lunch in town and then we had the evening to ourselves. I wondered about the town and then went to see The Da Vinci Code with several Fulbrighters. Myself and two others are booking a car tomorrow to drive to local skiing slopes to have a look and maybe do some skiing. It should be an adventure with the driving on the wrong side of the road and all….

Should I worry more about you skiing or driving on the wrong side of the road??? Both seem rather risky!

It's Sun. evening at 5:25 P.M.--I have to think of the time difference, Grandpa says to tell you that the Reds won 4-2 and the Cardinals got beat, so the Reds are moving up. We've enjoyed catching up on the blog. You'll have enough stuff for several programs when you return.

Hi Mr. Heiden! I saved your blog address from school and finally checked on your trip today! ALL looks wonderful! I'll keep checking in! Maybe some Early Childhood staff should look into this! Looks great!
