So weather has been a bit dreary lately. We are all just wishing and hoping for some good snow that'll stick around versus the freezing rain. Classes go on though. I got some new rain pants were are nice to have. I had a rough day last week where I struggled to get my fire going at Voyageur because it was raining and then in the afternoon I had two seventh grade boys become two year olds. And what I mean by that is they threw tantrums where they screamed at me, threw things, stomped their feet, and one cried. It was a little crazy but the kids were just at their breaking point. But I did find this cool branch with these pretty little mushrooms on it before the tantrums happened!
Here's some pictures of Thistle to lighten the mood haha
He's being trained to come to the stick and climb on command.
I have my first FEB day this week - which means we go down to our forest ecology building and stay in the valley all day. In the morning I'll teach Forest Ecology and in the afternoon Beavers. So today I took an adventure down there to figure out the trails with another nat who also has their first FEB day. We discovered the beavers are going crazy down by our fishing bridge. All kinds of new canals and chews. 
The whole area by the bridge is just really flooded as well from new dams and lots of rain recently. This is an old dam that isn't working anymore.
The Forest Ecology building is pretty sweet. It's got all kinds of fun plants, aspen paneling, composting toilets, etc. There are two classrooms and a lobby (picture) where we'll eat lunch.
Forest Eco is fun because it's a lot of trails that don't get quite as much use. Trails go through different types of forests and a deer ex closure.
