Spring Is Springing

It was another exciting day in the office today.  I think I have most of my loose ends all tied up.  I even packed up the books and decorative things that belonged to me in my office.  I could not leave without my frog stapler!  I worked on transferring photo files to make them accessible to anyone who might need them.  I also organized some other files and cleaned out the "do something with this soon" pile on my desk.  I got a few more calls and e-mails from people who heard that I was leaving.  The advertisement posted for my current position today.  I even called a very loyal boy scout troop who has done a lot of  volunteer work at the park to let them know that I was leaving and told them to be sure to call my replacement to introduce themselves.
I had planned to spend some time in the office and then take a break to head to Lake City to pick up water sampling bottles for Adams Tract.  I also had some supplies to drop off at Adams Tract, so I planned an excursion there as well.  My plans were foiled, but it was a good thing.  Our volunteer had an appointment in Lake City and asked if I needed anything.  I asked him to pick up the bottles so I didn't need to go to Lake City.  I was glad that I didn't have to make that big trip but I still had a chance to get out of the office to go to Adams Tract... then the Adams Tract volunteer called.  He was on his way to Troy so I didn't get to leave at all.  I was able to take care of everything that I needed to and then some.  I did get out for a walk in the afternoon.  I told you I would take more photos today.  The water is still receding and the budding flowers that I have been stalking are finally making some progress.
