Hi all--
I've been waiting to see what the weather was going to do before deciding on a meeting place, but it looks like it could go either way. So let's meet at LLL at 2:20. That way, if it is rainy, I'll do a lecture about mapmaking, and if it is reasonably nice, we can go exploring. Come prepared for indoors or out, so that means, bins, bird book, journal, and wildflower book if you've got it. Also be prepared to walk a muddy trail. Please keep an eye on the temperature and wind chill, too, and dress accordingly. Unless it is blowing 900 mph or raining hard, I'm taking you outside!
The good news about all this wet weather is that it might actually be a decent year for wildflowers! Fingers crossed, anyway.
Cheers, and see you tomorrow!
Dr T

Hi everyone--
A reminder that we are meeting at the City of Lubbock Cemetery tomorrow. The true name of the cemetery is Eastlawn Memorial park, and a link to the map is here: http://www.yelp.com/map/city-of-lubbock-cemetery-lubbock
We are actually meeting at the mausoleum, which is on the east side of the cemetery. The easiest way to get there is to follow the road around Canyon Lake 6 until you get to a large gate leading to the cemetery. The gate is located on the south side of the eastern-most bend in the road around the lake. On the map, you can see where the road runs adjacent to the north east corner of the cemetery. Find that, and you will find the gate.
It looks like it will be a pretty day tomorrow, with highs in the mid-50s and light winds. Bring your bins--we're going birding!

Greetings, all! We are meeting tomorrow at LLL at 2:20, as planned. It looks like the high will be in the mid-50s with a chance of rain, so bundle up and bring your waterproof jacket/hat.

Hi everyone--
Tomorrow looks like a pretty day, so we'll be drawing outside. Bring your art kits and something comfortable for sitting on the grass. We'll meet at ED 164 and go from there.

Hey y'all, don't forget that we're meeting at Urbanovsky Park tomorrow. Bring something comfy to sit on. It should be fairly nice weather, but you can get chilled sitting still, so dress more warmly than you might if you were just walking around. Bring your art kits.

Finish reading Like Water for Chocolate and the essay on pies by Sue Hubbell. We will discuss these at the pot luck next Tuesday.
The pot luck will be held at my house, starting at 2:30. I'l send you all an email with my address, so look for it.
Everyone needs to bring a place-related dish, and know from where each of the ingredients come. Be prepared to tell us how the dish relates to place. I'll start a list of dishes that people are bringing on this blog so that we won't duplicate dishes.

Tutorial will continue this week, and also take place next Monday and Wednesday. Only the Thursday group will be exempt from tutorials.
The prompt that is due this week is the oral interview/story with an elder. Next week we will discuss the drafts handed in this week. The Thursday group will not workshop these drafts, so they only need to bring one draft, for me. I will edit these and return them to the Thursday group.
The final papers that are due next week are the drafts we edit this week, the prompt on a challene you have faced and overcome.

Prompt from last week (due this week): What did Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings mean when she said the Corss Creek and the landscape were part of her? How was that different, and why, from her relationship to New York?

Hi everyone--
There is another cold front moving in on Wednesday, so it will be windy tomorrow (people who have taken the intro fieldcraft course will know why...). So we'll meet in the classroom tomorrow. We will be discussing Sarah Vowell's essay and plans for the star party.

I am getting behind in my blog updates, for which I apologize!
Remember that we are meeting to finish the movie tomorrow. The prompt draft that is due this week is a comparison of your home landscape to the of the movie, "Cross Creek." (the Monday tutorial group is, as always, one week behind).
The finished draft due this week will be your backstory to the short story.
The edited draft will be the short story.
Cheers!

Please read the next five chapters of Goodbye to a River.
Anyone have suggestions for where to meet? I have an idea for an experiment. Let's meet again at the Ranching Heritage Center. Bring something comfortable for sitting on the grass, and any water you might need. I will be leaving from the Honors College at 2:05 if anyone wants to ride bikes over there with me.
