Discovering the names of flowers (Blood root) in nature and the nature of Fibonacci numbers. There are 8 petals on the Blood root and the pine cone has 13 spirals clockwise and 8 spirals counter-clockwise.
Those are the best kind of days! Bloodroot is a favorite wildflower of mine! Water-balloon baseball, great fun! Fibonocci numbers are fascinating! I haven't really pointed them out to my girls yet, I will need to soon. Those last two photos are so sweet.
11/8/09 Crazy warm temperatures. 64 degrees today, bright and sunny. I'll take it! 10/1/09 Cold and rainy. 9/5/09 We have been having a beautiful stretch of sunny weather. Mornings are cool. Saw a praying mantis today! 8/5/09 Cool mornings and beautiful sunshine here in the Adirondacks! 5/14/09 The wind is howling outside. Pass on through storm to make way for the sun tomorrow! 5/13/09 What a glorious day! Warm, clear blue sky and creek full of tadpoles! 4/9/09 Full moon tonight and, could it be, a clear sky?! Yes! 4/1/09 We had an April Fools Day joke played on us today-the forecast was for sun and warmth and instead it was cloudy, windy and cool. The crocuses are now in bloom! 3/27/09 Woke up to the glorious sound of birds chirping. Jays, cardinals and robins are out in abundance. 2 bunnies made an appearance this evening. A beautiful sunny, spring day. 3/26/09 I've started to clean out the garden beds. We've had days of sun and are now getting a spring rain. The daffodils are coming up! 3/10/09 We had a squirrel and a woodpecker at the bird feeder today. The squirrel also loved a jar of peanut butter we left out.
I am going to miss this mini summer we have been having around here! I feel like I have been on vacation!
