My family has been busy weeding our overgrown flower garden and spreading six yards of mulch. There's so much that kids can learn by helping out with yard work! We've unearthed several mysterious chrysalises, a few of which now sit in jars being patiently monitored. The younger kids have been observing toads and planting flowers in pots. Even scratching through a compost pile for fresh dirt is fun when viewed with a fresh attitude! It's easy to forget how amazing it all is when you're three years old!

Until next time-
