Spring and Science


At Night at the Museum this month, we celebrated spring in  many ways.  Including decorating peat pots and planting sunflower seeds! 

The RVer's Bible


So, you finally arrived in the USA form Mars, and thought it would be a fine idea to peruse America in a recreational vehicle?
May I suggest to you, intergalactic traveler, buy this book!  In it you will find practically everything you need to know about RVing.  
And for Earthlings, included in this guide are tips and topics you didn't imagine you needed to know in the first place.

Nice Round Hat

After borrowing 15 crochet books from the Library . . .  I finally learned to read crochet.  Sort of. 

Round 1 said:  3 ch, 11 dc into ring, 1ss in 3rd ch. 12 dc. Huh?

I am not fluent yet.  The hat I tried had few instructions in this new language-code. 

When I translated it into English, it was pretty easy and fun to make.

The Maine Lobster Festival is held in August. Unfortunately, since I can’t eat a butter-dipped Lobster, I think I’d really enjoy a Lobster Crate Race!
