Hey all, here is my real post. Nature Boy isn’t quite done with his post for this week, so you are stuck with me. Sunday morning dh and oldest found a dead possum on the road. On their way home, they stopped to see if it had babies. Well, it did and this one was…
Guest post from: Philip (11) AKA Nature Boy. I caught a fence lizard the other day. I set up a habitat with old decaying wood, rocks, dirt and growing cheat for it in an aquarium. I like to do a few science experiments with it. I made a jungle gym out of yarn for it…

We learned that the marsh, is supposed to be naturally salty, but over the years has “freshed”…
I am sorry I am getting this up late. Our four year old most likely broke his arm Saturday, and I have been running. He has an ortho appointment tomorrow, so we should know for sure by then. Friday we went to an Apple Orchard for a field trip. It is a beautiful place to…
