We did a wildflower walk (seeing a pattern of some kind?) for Earth Day. It turned out to be my favorite of the year. The kids came and went like a wave of noise through the woods and it ended up being just Deb and myself joined later by Gina who roamed around looking at flowers. Deb knows lots of flowers, she filled in my gaps and I filled in hers and there were still a few things neither of us knew. But I do feel like I learned more new stuff walking with her for 20 minutes than I have looking through my wildflower books this year.
