Winter Weather Report (part of challenge 50)

We completed our winter weather study today. We had a break in the rain so we could go outside and gather some first hand information.

Yesterday we had a full rainbow out our back window. I don't know if you can see it because it is so faint but maybe if you click the photo it will show up.

My son completed his winter weather activity....with his own style. He drew the clouds and the view out the window in the big box and a winter scene in the top box.

I realized that maybe we should be doing the seasonal observations on the first day of the season. That means we will need to complete the spring observation in a few weeks.

If you read my blog with any frequency, you will remember that we had quite a bit of snow and very cold weather a few weeks ago. For now, our surroundings seem to be heading quickly towards spring.

Here are some signs that we found today.


My bulbs are pushing up into the sunshine.


Our indoor forsythia is blooming.


Our twig from our tree that we brought inside a few weeks ago is really starting to have leaf buds.


We saw the buckeye starting to leaf out.


The daffodils are blooming.


The plum tree is blossoming this week.

Look's like spring is coming doesn't it?

  1. You're seeing signs of spring, and winter has returned here! :-) The snow had melted quite a while ago, and I thought spring was coming. The last few days have surprised and delighted me. Everything is white again! But we do have some twigs and seeds sprouting indoors, like you.
