Nature from inside

This has been a tough year for weather. Here in Texas we are experiencing the worst drought in the state’s history. In the coastal bend of Texas the temperatures have routinely been in the high 90′s and in other places of the state the temperatures have topped 100 for many, many days. With weather like that everyone and everything suffers. Today it is hot enough that I feel like I could bake cookies on the sidewalk. I have no desire to…See More

get out in the elements

Latest post at my blog: TheNatureSchool.netThose of us in the Northern Hemisphere are, of course, in the midst of winter (you southern hemisphere folk will have to wait till July). What winter looks like varies greatly from latitude to latitude. What winter usually does usually have as a common thread is unpredictable weather. The northeastern United States is buried under mountains of snow that are atypical for that region at this time of year. US weather reporters have said that there is snow…See More

You can read more about the study here at the World Moon Project site. They are requesting students register by Oct 8th. Details on…See More

Hi b! Welcome to C&NN. I'm really glad you found us. I love your blog post about a sense of wonder. It's beautiful and I wonder if you'd consider reposting it here. (Lots of our members repost their blog writings.) I hope you'll make yourself at home around the network in others ways. A group comes to mind that might really work for you: Natural Teachers Network. I hope this becomes a place of sharing and resources for you. Hope to see you again soon.
