DISCOVERIES NOV 10-12

There's always so much to discover . . .

A feather from the Barred Rock hen

  crunchy leaves in all shapes and sizes

                         a bee resting on the rock

              a leaf caught in the brambles

                         Dragonflies were following us :)

    And some flowers still bloomed

                          A hornet nest was found on the ground

The flowers are changing from the cold

                    A piece of Gray Birch bark

        Most leaves have dropped from the trees

   It's easier to see the island now . . . and easier to get to and from

     We can walk through and under the Blueberry Bushes

    And we're still able to play Hide n Seek in the meadow  :)

                   Every season has its gifts to offer  :)

LANTERNS

            

STEW

There's all kinds of stew. . .  and they made the *inedible* kind.

But they had great fun dumping out all the filled containers . . . even puzzle pieces and gourds!

There was lots of sorting, matching, and laughter, as well as determination and persistence, as everything was put back in their own containers at the end of the day  :)

TADPOLE UPDATE

Our Bullfrog tadpoles are still doing well. The children enjoy searching for them in the tank and looking at them with magnifying glasses.

  They most definately will be overwintering inside with us :)

The only challenge will be food. Up until now they have eaten pond plants and the algae off those plants. I have read they can eat boiled lettuce and certain fish food from a pet shoppe.

IN THEIR OWN TIME

 They WILL  *in their own time*. . .  when they *want* to . . . when they show an *interest* . . . when it is *right* for them.

And only THEY know their own needs and wants, and when it does happen they are so proud.. . proud to do it and proud that it was on THEIR terms !
