Nature Notes

    Beautiful sparkling webs dot the front lawn this morning. ****************************************** My nasturtiums seem to be doing very well. I just love the shape of their leaves. ****************************************** Still rainy this morning but the weather looks to be warm(ish) and clearish) by the weekend. ******************************************

    My heart is breaking! I just watched an electric company worker take down the street light out front - the one that had the sparrow nest in it! When he removed the light fixture, all this stuff came out and at least one bird flew out at him - he jumped a foot, lol - serves him right! The poor little things have no home now! I hope all the babies had left the nest. Now I want to know who ratted out the sparrows? It had to be one of our neighbors ...

    So much going on now it's hard to keep up! The world is green again and there are things flying in the air and crawling underfoot. Nature is having a field day this month. ****************************************** Temps in the low 70s this week. A little rain maybe but mostly clear. Great planting weather. ****************************************** Speaking of planting, we've been busy doing just that. A post about all our garden aspirations will be up soon ... ******************************************

Another Field Day, Folks!

August is here, can you believe it? I think it's time for another Field Day! :)

I would love to run the next Field Day: The Late Summer Edition on Monday, August 21st. That's a little less than three weeks away ...August_sunflower

Plenty of time for me to - ahem - bug you for posts about nature! And plenty of time to generate a post about nature if you  - ahem - like me, have found it too hot or rainy to do much nature study lately!

Just like last time, Field Day: The Late Summer Edition will be a showcase of posts (and pictures) about nature of all kinds. A few ideas:

  • the late summer garden
  • the local farmstand
  • new nature journals
  • nature study goals for the new year
  • fun trips to the beach, the zoo, the farm (etc.)
  • nature on vacation
  • favorite nature books
  • naturalists you admire
  • observations, field notes, reflections
  • the changing seasons
  • All the same details apply (see this post for more information). Bloggers and non-bloggers are welcome! If you would like to be included in the Field Day: Late Summer Edition (and I sure hope you do!) please e-mail me the following information by Friday, August 18th at drNOSPAMhanigan@verizon.net (just be sure to remove the NOSPAM from my address before you send it).

    (And please help me spread the word!)

    Bloggers:

    • your name
    • your blog URL
    • your post name
    • your post URL
    • a brief description of your post

    Non-bloggers:

    bees buzzing * crickets chirping * heat rising * cicadas singing * bats flapping * thunder rolling * fireflies blinking * waves crashing * gardens growing * dragonflies zipping * petals falling * campfires crackling * stars twinkling ...

    How does nature say late summer to you? :)

    I hope to submit something for you! I love this idea. I linked to you in my morning post. I hope that is OK. I don't know all the blogging etiquette.

    Hi Jennifer! I just came from your blog - thanks for the link! :)

    Hi Dawn. I will submit something this time. You gave many good ideas, so I should be able to come up with something. (Nature study has been low priority for me. That's one of the reasons I like your blog so much. You cover lots of nature topics and I have a lot to learn.)

    Count me in Dawn, thanks for putting another one together!!
