We were finally able to do a little weather study today and it was actually fun to be outdoors in the light rain.
It wasn’t too cold either so we took a few photos as we walked around the yard. The deck plants are so pretty and colorful and brighten even this rainy day.
The gray sky really brought the colors in the trees and it was interesting to watch the raindrops collect on the plants in the garden. One sweetgum tree has lost all its leaves but the other is still holding on to its bright red and green leaves…at least so far today. On the right of the photo above you can see our Giant Sequoia tree and how its evergreen boughs are still full and beautiful.
My youngest filled out the Seasonal Weather Study sheet and we filed it away in his nature journal to compare with the coming season’s pages.
This was really a great nature study and I think that watching and comparing the weather each season is going to help us notice more about each season.
Glad to see that you were finally able to get the weather study done. Looks great!
