We had a fund raiser at the farm last Friday. The overnight event was a Relay For Life for the Canadian Cancer Society. This non-competitive relay starts with a lap to honor survivors of cancer and then continues for 12 hours. At dusk we light luminary candles around the course (the picture above). These luminaries honor survivors and commemorate those who have lost the fight with cancer. The event was fun. We did have some excitement with a rattle snake on the course. I removed it to the safety of the bog... we watched the moon rise...walked all night... then the sun rise over the bog. A big thank you to all those who helped with the event as well as our sponsors. We raised about $10,000.00.
On another note it is always nice to show off the bog. What an incredible place it is to work! There is the constant change of the natural world. Wildlife abounds at the farm. I am so fortunate.
