First I want to apologize for not blogging more this summer. I have been tied up with some work issues that have needed my attention, and I've also been spending as much time as I can at the river. If you read this blog from the beginning you would know I don't have Internet capabilities at the river, and so haven't had the option of blogging from there. I am giving up the idea of Summer reluctantly and have a few other forays away from home planned before the big chill descends and forces me inside where I can concentrate more on blogging, among other things.
I wanted to post this link because I think this documentary will be interesting and informative. I have only watched the trailer, so I can't comment on it's entire message, but I thought others would be interested in knowing about it before it airs in October.
I'll be seeing more of you when the rains come.
;) Maureen
