My view from where I sat and wrote today.  We wrote at the Archibald and Ada MacLeish Field Station in Whately.   Surrounded by 250 acres of land owned by Smith College and used for the purpose of researching environmental studies, you can rent out space to run workshops in.  I went with a group of nine women writers and we worked on our own projects in our company.  




I wrote a lot today and have at least two narratives and two poems to share.   I hand wrote everything today so I need to type everything up and after I do that I will post at least the poems.



The other good part about today was the listening to others and their voices. 





Too late for picture taking in the rookery, but pretty perfect for sitting there  on a beautiful evening.  Weatherwise the entire day was perfect.  I wish it would be like this all summer long.
