I got started on the mud-building phase of my piece last weekend and I've been hard at work all week.  The weather hasn't improved much, but I've been able to work between rain showers and get a lot done.   I was also able to squeeze in a swimming trip to the  frigid St. Croix river today. My housemates told me the water wasn't that bad.  I probably shouldn't have believed them, but it was still nice to wash off all the mud and get a break from the mosquitoes.  On that note, it seems all the bugs have decided to come out this week.  I've seen spiders, ticks and mosquitoes, but also june bugs, fireflies and millions of little green inchworms.  Oh, and (though he's technically not a bug)  a baby rabbit who is currently residing in our kitchen... the rest of his family got run over by a lawn mower, so we've been keeping him in a box and feeding him formula out of an eyedropper.  Perhaps I'll post some pictures later, if you can bear the extreme cuteness.   

I should have more pictures in a couple days, but farewell for now!
