we are planning on putting a special science discovery station in this summer in addition to the other areas we are revamping. last summer a momma toad so graciously
decided to lay her 2000 eggs in our play area. we had baby toads all summer and the kids were
obsessed with them. the problem was, they would carry them around, drop them, fly them in airplanes, and push them on the swings.
so this summer i am going to have a special place to "observe" animals more appropriately and humanly. lol
we're going to put in a worm garden, a veggie patch, and a compost.
we're going to plant more bushes and shrubs and flowers, add huge boulders, tree stumps, and rock paths.
the school agers are going to build a wood playhouse so we can get rid of the plastic one.
i'm still thinking about chickens and a pig. maybe.
instead of the plastic canopy over the sand pit, we are going to build one out of wood, and then i can hang wind chimes and hanging flower baskets from it.
now you have me wanting to get outside!!! we still have 6 inches of snow on the ground
