I can say that about two things today.
First, the workshop! Yahoo! At the risk of sounding like I'm patting myself on the back... let me pat myself (well, ok, OURSELVES) on the back. It really was a good workshop. A lot of work. But it was good. I really felt like we we were working with some serious, professional teachers this time. They were learning from each other, asking amazing questions, and really eager to learn. I haven't read through the workshop evaluations that people left for us yet, but Jackie did, and she thinks that people were saying it really was one of the best workshops that we've put on yet!
But alas. It is finished. The big job of cleaning up, sorting out, and writing reports etc., now comes. I still have several things looming over my head to get done in the next few days. But it will get done... and then... in two weeks... I GO HOME! Whoo hoo! I haven't even hardly had time to think about it yet, and it all happened quite suddenly, but I'm booked to fly home to the land of the ice and snow for Christmas! I can hardly believe it (though my ticket hasn't actually been issued yet, but that should happen tomorrow, I hope!).
And the second thing that's finished today are the greens in the garden. I went out to water my plants today, which were just about at the point of munching on... when I found that they had ALL already been munched on! I couldn't figure out what on earth had been munching my greens... until I asked J & R, and they were like, "Oh, yeah, we saw the guinea fowl eating your plants". They even took pictures of the guinea fowl flock eating my plants... but did they run to scare them away? NO! They let them devour my entire harvest of greens!
The worst part is that I can't even really be upset with them, because they were so excited about how many guinea fowls there were in the flock (like, 19 of them!), and they were amazed that they were all standing so still for the pictures... because they were munching on ALL my greens, so of course they were standing still!
Anyway, perhaps tomorrow I shall replant, so that when I come from Canada, if the guinea fowl leave me anything, there might be something tasty and delicious to eat from the garden.

sorry that you lost all your greens but I have to say thats pretty amusing. That being said if J is who I think it is then I need to have a serious talk with him...... Its a chore to get him to take pics as he is not big into it and now I find out that hes taking pics of birds.... and not even saving u dinner :P
Life just isnt right sometimes.
Sorry, it wasn't "your" J, but the J who lives in my house! So don't worry, no serious talk needed on that topic with "your" J :)
