Comments Off on Building a hut

I actually think that they are building a fort – but they told me it’s a hut, so that’s what we’re calling it. It is pretty amazing how we can make places to stay safe and warm and dry out of just about anything. Max just moved into the neighborhood – they all seem to be cooperating and are certainly doing a good job building the hut!

Sophie is working hard making apple cider. It takes 36 apples squeezed through the apple press to make one gallon of apple cider. Sadie must be tired from picking apples! Click on the image below, or click here, to open the coloring page, then download, print, and start coloring!

Comments Off on Apple picking

It’s apple picking time where we live! Sadie must be picking apples from a dwarf (shorter) apple tree since she’s pretty short. What do you think she’s going to do with them? One other fun fact about apples – the Chinese word for apple is pronounced ‘ping’ which also means peace.

Walking through a cornfield is so cool! The corn this time of year is really tall and it makes a beautiful music as the wind goes through it. It also has a lovely smell. Did you know that there is corn grown on every continent in the world except for Antarctica?!

Comments Off on Honey Bee

Did you know that honey bees are responsible for pollinating about 80% of all of the fruits, vegetables, and seeds in the United States? There is a lot of concern lately because the honey bee population is getting smaller. One of the problems is that there are more and more places that honey bees can’t live because there aren’t enough flowers and yummy things for them to eat. Glad these bees are finding some pollen (that is what is sticking […]

Comments Off on kayaking

I just learned to kayak this week and now Sophie’s giving it a try. It’s hard work! But it’s nice and quiet and calm – and that’s just why the native people near the arctic circle invented kayaks about 4,000 years ago. Being so quiet made hunting easier! Now people mostly kayak for fun. Click on the image below, or click here, to open the coloring page, then download, print, and start coloring!

I always thought a desert island was what all of the pictures of tropical paradise islands with sand and palm trees. Turns out I was wrong! Desert islands are deserted islands, meaning no one lives on them. They sure do look restful.

Did you know that cows can walk up stairs, but they can’t walk down stairs? It’s the way their knees are designed. So cool! Also, cows are like people. They like being together, and sometimes they like the other cows in their herd and sometimes they don’t!

Grandpa Al looks pretty cranky, but he’s’pretty fun! Crested Saguaros are very rare – scientists don’t know what causes the cresting – maybe lighting, maybe freeze damage – but it sure is cool! I think it makes them look like cauliflower. Click on the image below, or click here, to open the coloring page, then download, print, and start coloring!
