It’s springtime! All over the Northern Hemisphere, people are enjoying the fresh air, finally warming after a long, cold, winter. And when you get outside in the fresh air, you’re bound to find something new! From bird’s nests, to daisies, nature has it all. Tell us in the comments what new animal or leaf or flower you most recently discovered. Speaking of flowers, we learned a pretty way to fold a napkin into a flower shape, and we’d love for you to learn, too. Isn’t spring fun? I think so! – Abbie
Supplies

Beautiful Abbie! As for spring animals, we discovered a nest of three field mice yesterday while cleaning up outside. They had very pretty fur in spite of the fact that I find them to be icky little guys. We also watched a baby rabbit for a few days last week in our side yard. Enjoy a wonderful Resurrection Sunday!
I don’t particularly like mice either, but they can be rather cute as babies. Rabbits are always very lovely, and even more so as little ones! We seem to be short on babies this year, though. I haven’t seen our scissor-tails yet, visitors that normally nest in the eves every spring. We have no male goats, so that means no goat-kids either. Ah, well, next year!
