We spent the early morning out on the deck, enjoying the unseasonably mild weather. Around 6:30 we sat out at the table, Bill and I leafing through the paper and sipping our coffee, the younger two boys playing in the yard (Bookworm was still sleeping!). We saw lots of birds flying over including a goose, as well as a lovely Monarch butterfly! The clouds were so beautiful - illuminated by the rising sun. We could already feel the heat in the day. We'll have to see how hot it is after OT before deciding about visiting the apple farm ...

Speaking of the apple farm, today is Johnny Appleseed Day!

Also, the Full Harvest Moon rises at sunset tonight.

Hello!
- Welcome to my little nature corner! I am starting this blog on January 1st, 2007 and it is my goal to write something every day - in hopes of creating a family almanac by the end of the year. Some days it might just be the temperature, others it will be (I hope) posts full of pictures and observations. I hope you enjoy your time here!
Everyday Nature
- ~Early Spring Birds~Now's the time of year to start watching for spring migrants passing through. Keep your bird guides handy so you can identify them! It's also the time to hear spring birdsong (it will sound new and yet familiar) and to observe courting behavior. :) ******************************************
