Adventures in Nature: A portal to books, trips, camp, life story all in one!
Our cabin has a summer kitchen. That means it is screened-in but is in no way watertight or varmint-proof. I had been having some problems with what I thought were mice eating foodstuffs left on the counter. The confusing part was that the evidence the critters left behind was much larger than mouse poop. I... Continue Reading →
Deb Lenox White, one of our original Mississippi paddling trio, is raising money via this Red River section of our Hudson Bay expedition for the Himalayan Cataract Project. It is a most worthy cause because it provides life-changing eye care to remote villagers in the Himalayas who otherwise would be blind. You can read more... Continue Reading →
We are all independent eaters when we canoe together. We each pack what we like for breakfast and what we want to snack on during the day. Suppers break that rule, however.

Even though everything is still frozen, and I remain impatiently on the shore, the pussywillows are out! *at the risk of being politically incorrect
I am still hanging out on the edge of the lake, waiting for the ice to go out. This is a picture of my boat this week. Once the snow in it disappears, I will pick my way through the ice floes to my cabin. What a spring!
I am all packed and ready to leave for northern Minnesota for the summer. I start work at the forest service on April 25th, so I thought leaving right after Easter was a good idea. I asked the guys who work at the boathouse to get my motor on my boat so I can tear... Continue Reading →

Some friends have told me that they don’t know how to follow me on my website. This is how to do it: Go to annesherveose.comClick on the farthest left... Continue Reading →
