Months ago I wrote "call bluebells" in my planner, but Rebecca is the one who reminded me to actually do it yesterday. I hear they're blooming well, and will probably peak this week/end. Hurrah! We'll get there Thursday, between violin and carpools . . .
Meanwhile, on the way home from the library, Marianna suggested "school by the creek." I should be the one leading them out into nature, but it often works the other way around.
We packed a few backpacks and headed out.
Joe found this guy was basking on a rock, just like us. We checked our field guides, but have not yet identified it.
Rebecca found some frog eggs . . .
. . . which turned out to be air bubbles.
I wrote in my nature notebook. Dusty chewed through his leash. Joe retrieved a colored pencil before it floated away. Joe and Becca touched the snake (with a stick since we weren't sure of its species).
Going to see the bluebells is something I never did while I lived in VA. I never knew about them! Oh how I wish I had. Looks like a great day. Wish we were there! We have snow on the ground --and last week it was over 80! Michigan just can't decide if winter is over or not. I say 'It's over!'
