Was it really 2003? I hope you can make it back to Bear River one of these years.

Thank you.

Wish I could join you at Bear River this year – the last time I took your workshop was 2003 (!). Bear River always conflicts with a professional conference I’m required to attend. Maybe next year…

Anomalies abound. In January a few years ago, Gail and I watched a pair of eastern bluebirds in the autumn olives on our property, with a foot of snow on the ground beneath them.

We’re looking forward to having you and David back home this spring, and to hearing your stories about desert landscapes and people.

I experienced multiple springs one year, first in Louisiana, then central Illinois, next southern Michigan, and finally the U.P., but don’t remember the 15 miles a day formula. Nice. And soon it will be time for spring in northern Michigan, which for me means wildflowers in the woods. Thank you for reminding me, Jerry.
