A warm February day
allowed the girls to create an amazing playscape!
They trickled out water from one of our rainbarrels
and dug out channels, pools and ditches
until a wetland and river
ran down a little slope in the backyard.
My favorite part was watching silt swirl in the rivulets.
Everyone observed how sand settled out first,
an organic lesson in stream dynamics without a single lecture.
Even this biology momma held her tongue,
allowing her girls to make their own discoveries.
Here, Lela adds to a small dam that Liv created.
A little frog, actually an incense stick holder,
finds the perfect pool for a home.
The weather in these parts has been amazing!
Today will be nearly 70 degrees F and sunny.
A few red maple trees in our backyard are starting to bloom,
and the Bradford pear is not far behind.
A clump of crocuses in the neighbor's yard
have delighted the girls.
We're looking forward to more muddy, dirty play
as Spring appears to have arrived!
