Our first "Nature" study of the Summer

School is offically out at our house for the summer but that does not stop the learning process. We have planted a new flower garden from seed. We have to water it constantly untill the seedlings can make it on their own. Various insects visit this mud domain. Todays lesson was on the Mud Dauber.
