Greetings

Welcome to my little corner of the inter-webs! I just wanted to take this space to warn you that my posts will rarely be up to date. Due to the spontaneity of natural disasters and the unpredictability of when AmeriCorps' services will be requested I will be digitizing my journal entries whenever we return to St. Louis. Oh, and most of the pictures you see here were taken by myself. If ever I do use someone else's material I make a point to give them due credit though! That said, come, leave comments and be merry! I hope you enjoy your stay!

Bear Creek Cabins - 7/6

Our project site for the day was very similar to the rolling hills seen in the opening of the Sound of Music.  Tall grass, wild flowers, mountains—Austin even burst in to song for a short while.  There were a couple of trees on the outskirts of the meadow that had fallen onto the fence so we were sent to remedy the situation.  It was quick work and we even got to break in a couple of new chainsaws in the process!  With an easy day of service we went into town (Ennis) and enjoyed a quick dip in the nearby creek.  Now, well, it seems like this Hellraiser has a way with the horses.  They strolled into our camp area and a couple came up to me for attention.  One was a little jealous and nudged me from behind while I was distracted with another.


A nice relaxing day for the most part!  Haley helped me send in a resume for an awesome job involving disaster response…but I goofed and had her send the wrong cover letter.  Well, hopefully they will get back to me and ask for the right one!  I’m going to head up the hill to watch the sun set on our final day here in Bear Creek.  Good night all!
