a+++ raining away here! Good for my plants.
Thank you! Not raining here yet-just grey and more cloudy gathering.
My cub applied for and got a slot on a team to do independent research for 3 months to fast-track her masters, but she asked no questions about the particulars of the assignment. She was thrilled-until she had to pack up a few things and go to a really remote cabin in a part of west Texas with one other female in the program-remote as getting dropped off somewhere in BF Egypt, as in no TV, no restaurants, minimal creature comforts-just her laptop, research supplies, cell phone and provisions fetched from the nearest tourist village.
I’ve gotten numerous whiny texts ever since she got there on Saturday, as has my son-in-law. I’d happily trade places with her for that kind of solitude and communication with the natural world, but I like that sort of thing. My cub’s idea of roughing it, however is when room service is late.
They are studying the honey bee decline-it sounds so interesting, even if she is less than thrilled just now. Perhaps she has learned that if something sounds too good to be true...
