Going to Parker River NWR

I've been meaning to tell you....I GOT THE JOB AT PARKER RIVER NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE! When I got that phone call, it was such a weight off my shoulders. Now there's just a wedding to worry about...and the garden. Even though I won't be in NY all summer, my garden still will be. So that means I'll have to leave Dan in charge (poor plants). I will be investing in drip hoses and a timer for the faucet. And although there won't be regular updates from my main garden, I plan to do a lot of container gardening while out there. (I'd put in a real garden but the soil is pretty much sand...and there's a ton of deer!)

So if you're wondering where I am this summer, you can find me out in the salt marsh:

There will be lots of early mornings:

And several late evenings:

But it's real tough work, I'm telling you:
