An Email to Lily and Zoe

Snow Dining Hall, originally uploaded by dustkunkel.

Yesterday, Lily and Zoe got a special email from Rebecca, our friend at Lutherhaven where we will be going to work.

Rebecca sent some pictures of camp too! The picture above is from last winter. She also wrote a wonderful little email that gives you an idea of the landscape and animals. . . . here's a portion:

"Dear Lily and Zoe . . . . Yesterday, Bob (he’s a guy we all work for) saw an owl on the tree outside the office, it was really small and cute. There are deer that run all over this place and the other night one of them actually climbed up on mine and Uncle Stephen’s back porch and ate my flowers. I guess they like pretty red flowers. Can you imagine a deer climbing stairs just to get flowers to eat? There are turkey’s that you’ll see on the road into camp, and a bunny that lives up the road, and sometimes you’ll see lots of big elk in the field on the way into camp. One night I counted 20 of them! There are squirrels that live here (mostly right now they live in the wall under our bathroom) but you’ll see them this spring, and there are fish in the pond. Big orange ones and a catfish that lives there too. Bob likes to feed them and he’ll let you help!"

Thanks Aunt Rebecca for making Lily and Zoe's day brighter, and giving them pictures of where they are going.
