It has been a few days and now I am feeling slightly refreshed.  I was able to go for my walk for the first time in two days with a light misty sprinkle following along.  The smells were rich and the birds joyously singing.  It is amazing how light rain keeps people inside.    

I have finished my class work and final with a satisfactory grade.  A group is in camp and doing well.  I almost cannot believe that the season has begun.  No blood donors yet…the black flies are still at bay.  I have heard rumors that they are out in other places but only swarming, not biting.  In the coming week the little guys will get their fill of SUNY Cortland’s student’s blood. 

The group here now is TST Boces.  They arrived yesterday and have been busy every since.  Many of them went swimming, as well as, canoed, kayaked and fished followed by a campfire.  It was a great first day.  Today the group will head over to Camp Huntington to use the challenge course and return later to help with a service project; raking pine needles and leaves.  While it is a small group, the extra 17 pairs of hands will make quick work of it. 

Have a great day!
