Seasons Change...Week 25

Season: one of the four periods of the year (spring, summer, autumn, and winter), beginning astronomically at an equinox or solstice, but geographically at different dates in different climates.

Every morning on our way to my daughters school we go past a ranch with a long row of big trees that surely change with the seasons but we hardly notice. My kids and I have decided to embark on a project that will help us notice that gradual change on the trees. My daughter Sophia will take at least a weekly picture after school for a whole year, I will post it on my blog entry on Thursdays and my little one Xavi wants in it too so he will take a picture of some cows from a different ranch and improve his picture taking skills.

Here it is again, the very first tree and its sprouting. Pictures taken on 3-24-11 We've had rain for a couple of days now and there is some more rain of the forecast for the weekend! I'm loving this project because it's making me realize how mother nature takes its time...

Cow story: the cows we used to take pictures of have been missing since December. Kids are on the lookout!

Sometimes Sophia gets bummed when we tell her we saw or went to this specific place while she is at school. So this is a great opportunity to show her new places she does not get to see during the day. This time we went to an unfinished construction site. The kids called it the 'haunted house'.
