 Spring Came Early This Year!

We've been enjoying the warm weather this week! Most of the snow is gone, but the ground is still icy in places and very wet. Pants and mittens are getting super soaked and muddy, but the smiles are worth it (of course, I'm not the one who has to wash their clothes)!

Beth showed us how to tap a maple tree, so we'll be checking the buckets and watching for the sap to fill them. Cross your fingers for cold nights and warm, sunny days so the sap will run well.

Snake Skin When snakes grow, they shed their skin. Snake Habitat Game The REAL thing!!
