The 4th grade at Aaron's school did a "Rock Concert." They actually really sang about rocks.

I went outside on the deck and a bird huridly flew off. Because in the past we've had neighbors who have had birds try to take up residence in their grill, I opened mine up only to find this(actually, there was more grass than this. I already took a big handfull off):

I just used the grill last week! Why can't you birdies live in the little birdhouse Aaron and Michael made just for you?

Curling dandelions

Lily brought in a bunch of dandelions. I remembered curling dandelions in water with my grandma when I was little, so decided to try it. It works best with long-stemmed flowers. First you peel the stem into 4 or 5 pieces.

Then get a bowl of warm water and put the dandelions in.

Finally, watch them turn into tight curls!

Macro--Tulip

I went to the Tulip Festival at Thanksgiving Point last week. I wasn't blown away by any of the shots I got, but here ya go anyway.
