Morass, bog, fen, sump, quagmire, swamp — so many words with negative connotations, yet so lovely and teeming with life.

Come see our resident heron, the beaver dams, and to hear the full-throated frogs. We stop every time we drive in to Camp, turn off the radio, and simply listen.

She is an avid reader, traveler and baker (pumpkin muffins are her favorite).
