Loose ends




Now comes the bittersweet ending. We are both more than ready to see our loved ones and sleep in our own beds. But, there are a million tiny things to do before leaving. List after list is made, one by one items are checked off. After months of diligent science, now our focus is on cleaning out the fridge and packing up clothes that are almost walking themselves to the washer. In the midst of it all we did make it to the North Hills to check out the birds up there. Whoa daddy, is it wetter and cooler. We've made some lovely friends with the Black Hills botany crowd and they let us crash their place near Spearfish. Not bad huh?
So now the season draws to a close and we look forward to all of the hormone assays and data analysis that will fill our days for months to come.

Heard about your close call! Glad you are ok and your research was saved! Bitter sweet leaving it all but I'm sure you can't wait to get home-love ya!
