Day 24

Well, June is here! Good because things are moving along, but a reminder that more has yet to be done!

Well the most exciting information to report is my slight case of poison ivy (which we walk through, and end up getting all over us every day). I'm really glad that its a very mild case, and it hasn't caused me much trouble at all except that I can't wear my watch on my wrist. We found the largest patch I've ever seen of it today- it had to be close to an acre- so knock-on-wood, we'll all get by without any problems.

We worked pretty hard the past two days (yes, we work weekends)- its been really hot and we've been out there doing habitat surveys and looking for birds. I'm excited because the Virginia-Kentucky District Fair is taking place here in Wise next week! Billy Currington, Danielle Peck, and some other country artists (as well as bluegrass bands, my new southern influence) will be playing there. I hope to get some time in the evenings or maybe a half day to spend at the fair!

Oh yeah, there are like 5 or 6 country radio stations. This is the REAL Appalachia, you listen to country or nothing!

I love bluegrass! I can recommend plenty of people if you want. I went to the Delaware Valley Bluegrass festival last Labor Day, and I'm going again this year. I'm also going to the Grey Fox Bluegrass Fest up in NY in July. :)
