What do you know? I wake up to another April day with
tons of snow on the ground. I
thought that April showers, (not snowstorms) brings May Flowers! Well, I guess we will just have to
wait!
Even though there are many piles of
snow everywhere and no flowers, there are still high perks on the Farm Stay. Today we had Science and we got to go
outside. We observed our trees
buds, (we were all assigned trees to observe) and our nest box, (a bird nesting
box elevated in the air that we also were assigned to watch). There weren’t any birds, eggs or traces
of nests in any of the 12 boxes. After
that, we all went to the Bird Blind.
This is a really cool time of year
to go to the Bird Blind, and we have unusual circumstances this year. We have many winter birds still
here, and spring birds are beginning to come. The most species of birds that have ever been seen at our Bird
Blind in one sitting was 14. Over
the winter, we spotted 19 different species. When we went to the Bird Blind today, we saw 16 different
species! We broke a record!
We then went back to the Homestead
for the lunch that Katie made for us.
It was delicious. We played
kick the can after lunch, once we decided which rules to play by! After group
play, we all worked on making the crafts we are going to sell at the festival
this weekend. They are all coming
along great! I can’t wait to see
them all finished. We had ‘make
your own dinner’ tonight. I made
Fettuccine Alfredo with Emerson.
That pretty much sums up our day!
Lots of exciting stuff happened.
