Fairybugs

This week we went exploring up the old county road. We found a young Beech tree with "fairybugs" coating one of the branches. The fairybugs are wooly aphids that float through the air like fairies.

We climbed on trees and up steep hills.

We made a colorful fairy house with scrap wood.

We found geodes and hickory nuts along the creek.

The kids have been really into the book Mud Puddle. We went out and found our own mud puddles. These puddles didn't jump on us like the ones in the story.
