Jim is our only new hire this summer. He is a roommate of Mike Kwas from Wisconsin and decided he might like to try the wilderness for a summer. So far, it is working out well for all of us. In fact, it is hard to imagine that Jim has not been here for many summers already. Jim is NOT shy and makes friends with everyone. He is certainly embracing the wilderness experience and is right now off on an overnight canoe trip.
Jim has many hobbies and a lot of knowledge about natural and organic foods. He was eating our dandelions and drying some other sort of leaves for a natural tea. If only he could eat enough dandelion greens to clear them all out. We teased Jim because the first time he mowed, he kept skipping patches because there was something interesting growing there. We had to convince him that there are interesting things growing everywhere but there are areas we need to walk in so we do have to mow and weed wack some places. On the whole, we try to maintain the property in a natural state but we do have to be careful that the forest does not take us over (that is another blog topic altogether!).
We are glad to have Jim with us this summer. He is an exuberant addition to our staff.
