This is too good! What a perfect description of a family immersed in and learning about the nature in which they thrive. I would suggest that this grow into an illustrated children’s book.

Thank you Jerry! The best writing comes about spontaneously, and that’s exactly what happened with this one.

Writing children’s books is my big dream. Maybe one day. 😊🌿📖

This is how children learn the best about nature - through play. I should know, for I grew up this way. Thank you so much for sharing your research with us!

Thank you Csermely. This was very serious research indeed. My most important research finding was that we need a second magnifying glass and more coffee breaks. ☕🔎🔍😄

But yes, learning through play is the most natural and effective way to learn. It’s wonderful that you’ve had the chance to experience it too. 🫶🏼🌿

Yes, humor with children can be found in the most unexpected places. Thank you for your lovely comment! 🫶🏼

Sounds like a very exciting excursion in such wonderful nature.

I must admit for the time being I spend most of my free time in the garden and like your young researchers I take a lot of photos! These are from today. The white rose is called ‘Karen Blixen’ named after a Danish writer. Is she familiar to you? These days the weather is warm and sunny. Today we had 28 degrees. Besides the flowers I like watching the birds. Yesterday a woodpecker came by for a meal!

Wow, what a floral display! And there’s even a rose with your name! Thank you for the comment and photos, Karen.🌹🫶🏼
