After hiking at Nerstrand yesterday we returned to Rochester to attend am Earth Day fundraiser for Quarry Hill Nature Center. We competed in a silent and live auction and got some cool stuff for a good cause. We also got to meet some terrific people including our mayor, Ardell Brede who is doing a wonderful job and his wife Judy. There was also wine and Lisa had just enough to embolden her get a picture or two take with one of "Gods creations." One that I might add she does not particularly care for (as the picture indicates)...As it turns out we won a beautiful and great smelling 10 year old Rosemary tree, bread for a year, an additional bread basket and a care package for Jaida. In addition, all the proceeds went to a great cause. Quarry Hill Nature Preserve is situated right in Rochester and provides
education opportunities, hiking trails, and research right in my back yard. To be fair I also got my picture taken with the snake (a Fox snake, very harmless and very common in Minnesota). However, as you can see, I rather enjoy snakes. If I am real lucky I will be able to come across a Timber Rattle Snake this summer. All told we had a great time supporting a great cause.
