This newsletter looks great, Barb! We were actually just talking recently about going back to study cattails again :) Thanks!
Also, thank you, again, for the journal giveaway.
You are very welcome Susan. I look forward to seeing your cattail study. We will be working on ours this month too....found some big ones near our home to observe this time.
So, you've gone and designed an entire month of nature fun. Permission to stomp in the pond? How wonderful of you! Thank you. Now, I'm going to pretend like your banner photo is my view with my morning coffee.
Thanks so much Barb! I love how you have broken in down for us. Now that we are back to school, I look forward to doing all of these except the cattails. I have been unable to find any here in sunny Florida. We will be spending a week at the lake so I'll keep my eyes peeled for them there. :)
