Thanks so much for the help! Also, we live in a new development, and while there is lots of nature within a fairly short drive of us, our neighborhood is newer and so trees are pretty much sticks, and there isn't a whole lot of 'extra' nature (or maybe there is and I just don't know it! :o) ). I was kind of hoping we wouldn't have to get in the car to go on our nature walks, but is that what you would suggest? Driving somewhere (perhaps even a consistent spot to compare during the different seasons) to make it worthwhile? Or is it possible to still complete a decent nature study in our neighborhood?lwickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07972090969275305956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7628767515693863152.post-22595130922159231292016-04-19T05:10:59.518-07:002016-04-19T05:10:59.518-07:00Excellent!

Going out into our farm I just thought my kids would have endless choices in the natural environment. Well they did, and sometimes too many options and no focus doesn't create the result one wants. This post outlines the how to, and narrows the focus. I'll try again using theses wonderful ideas. Thank you!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06619118983561372064noreply@blogger.com
