Hovercraft
A little while back I shared my science in a bag idea; which works in theory until it comes to implementing it. You would think with having everything ready you would be doing science everyday. Nope, it did not happen. This was the second time using one of the bags; a total of four months [...]
Delayed Snow Pictures
We got about 20″ inches of snow which is a record for us. We normally average 4″ a year. And because I could not resist, a snowman booger. More about this ice tomorrow.
Beatrix Potter Stories
I am always trying to find different ways to share books with wingnut. I tried reading ‘The Tale of Peter Rabbit’ to him but he had no interest in it. I went on-line and found these short videos of Beatrix Potter’s works. Some are a moving sideshow and others are part of the animated show. [...]

Our rainy weather has begun here which has caused wingnut to ask many questions about rain, so I decided we could make a rain gauge. This is the gauge on [...]
