Wow! What a great month our family had with the weeds and wildflowers theme! We saw flowers everywhere we went and were able to add a few new ones to our wildflower lists. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the entries to the carnival…thanks so much for sharing your nature study activities with the Outdoor Hour Challenge family.
Our family’s wildflower and weed entries from this month’s study (in case you missed one):
1. Wildflower Nature Study – Getting Out And Enjoying The Weather
2. Our Oregon Coast Wildflower and Weed Grid
3. Milkweed Study – Start a Year Long Study
Be inspired. Be encouraged. Get outdoors!
