Art Class Show
The Biology drawing class I took had a show in August. It was fun to put up our work, attach lables, and make all of our friends come and see (we made lots of food for the opening too!) Renato gave me a boquet of flowers at the opening which was super nice. I can't say I like ALL of my drawings. But I did learn a lot in this class and I will keep practicing

Back to real life!
Since I've gotten back from Paris, I've been trying to really get some work done. Up until last week I had a volunteer working for me all summer helping dissect birds. Shes the best and I will miss her a lot. So now I have to process those birds, measure, photograph, as well as finish other measurements off of images, and write the whole thesis thing
I am also going to start teaching a brand new subject this fall.... Embryology! Its a tough course but has some nice benifits for the TA. No marking or out of class consoling. Lots of prep work (I've been doing the labs myself for the past 3 weeks and have just 3 more to finish) The big perk is my own little office! Its small and has now windows, but it is for me! (At least for 4 months)
Here is the teaching lab
My desk
Refridgerator for my lunch!
I also got a haircut... look fringe!! I had so much fun at the hairdressers, I wish I could go every week!

Starting with Photos of Paris
I have a lot of photos so its going to take me a while to get through them. BE WARNED!
The trip overall was fantastic. We flew out (standby) from Calgary to Detroit to Washington to Paris. First class most of the way! The first night we spent in a hotel by the airport, as we did not get our appartment until the second day. We sharred the appartment with Pat, Wendy, and Athena.

Renato was pretty tired after aour first 2 days...
More to come!

Dog Setting!
We have been taking care of our Favorite Giant dogs - Clara and Lilly for the past week and will be doing it until monday. These 2 are a lot of work, but well worth it!
Lilly says: Throw that ball for me!
Clara says: Rub my belly!

Slowly My Garden Grows
My garden has been recovering nicely from the hail storm. Here is some of it:
My new window basket has some herbs in it (parsley, basil, and Vietnamese taragon) as well as some snapdragons and pansies.
Renato made this little garden box out of ceader. it has a thich row of sweatpeas and snappeas in the back, and in the front some flowers.
The garden proper is still in a recovary mode. The Squashes have been killed completely, as well as the spinach, so we planted some new as well as some cabages, they are little but will get bigger over time
Today I ate the first strawberry from my one little plant. I would have taken a photo but... who can't eat their first strawberry right away?

We had some hail
Most of my plants were desroyed by the pummeling. Luckally the car was not dented
Two days later it rained
...and flooded. the rest of my plants were drowned.
last weekend Ren and I went to the garden center and bought more plants to restock: Photos tomorrow!

Riley and Mattie
Now that the pup is at home with Mom she can spend her time getting used to Mom's older dog, Mattie. Right now, It's hard to tell if they will ever get along...

3 Days in Kananaskis
On June the 5th my art class went to the Kananaskis Research Station for 3 days, 2 nights. I fell in love with this place and wish I could move out there for the rest of my degree! The lodging was super clean, there were cooks who made food for you, good food, and the views were spectacular!
My only sadness is that I didn't explore outside of the station grounds, mostly because of the intense drawing I was doing inside. I will visit again to be sure
Here is the station:
I fell in love with the Richardson's ground squirrels and Barn swallows
Here are some things I was drawing, you can see a sketch of the nest behind it a little. I drew a lot more. I hope to figure out how to photograph them soon
