lehigh gap nature center

A few weeks ago, Lydia received an email from the Lehigh Nature Center in Slatington. They were having an open house and wreath making workshop. We decided to go.

We arrived about an hour early and walked on the D&L toward Slatington.

First order of business, crowd 4 people into a selfie. Good thing Sharon is short.

 Bonnie and I kept our normal pace. Lydia slowed down and walked with Sharon. Sharon doesn't move near as well as she used to. Lydia had ample time to stop and take pictures.

 On the return trip, we headed down the dock road to the river. It's the first time i've walked that trail that I didn't want to jump in the river. It was cold. And windy. Mostly I was warm. But I should have had long johns under my work out pants.

 Then we headed inside for the open house/workshop. A lot of people came. They had four types of evergreen, some cedar, some juniper, rose hips and two kinds of holly. The table wasn't large enough for everyone so I had to wait for space. In the meantime, I helped everyone but Bonnie. Her hand gave her trouble but she stubborn and wouldn't accept help. I ran for greens. Cur stems and string. Fetched pine cones. Held and bundled greens. A little bit of everything. After Bonnie, Lydia and Sharon finished it was my turn. I picked a small grape wreath form, and chose every kind of material they had. I was allergic to one of them. My right hand had poison-like bumps on it, but they don't itch...yet.

Once I hang the wreath on the porch it will need to be trimmed. Or maybe I'll leave it diamond shaped. Overall, I like it.
