This has been a month of unusual weather. We have had humid, scorching days, pleasant cool days, crazy rains, and also hail. The variety has kept it interesting. Any day is a great day to get outside and play, observe and wonder at the beauty all around us.
After the rains, we found some huge mushrooms.
She was so fascinated by these. I saw her playing with them in all sorts of ways...umbrella, ear muffs, seat cushion, lollipop, and who knows what else her imagination came up with.
Watched a sunset together....
We read somewhere that every time you see a colorful sunset it will be a clear sunny day the following morning. We have closely observed this for months and so far it has held true.
Found a Cecropia Moth by the barn...
Picked Blackberries...
Found a Passion Flower... (the TN. state wildflower)
A busy Bee...
A Katydid....
and watched the garden grow...
Some of our favorite nature connections this month were birds and more birds.
Check out more nature connections at Sherry's blog here.
Beautiful pics--those are some seriously huge 'shrooms. :)
ReplyDeleteI've found these before! they are poisonous but won't do any harm to play with, unless eaten. I'm so glad she can enjoy them instead of being sheltered from nature with a "don't touch it it could hurt you" as if it's radioactive or something, geez.
