I pulled a few weeds out of the strawberry garden and pulled up a young tree, just barely free from it's nut. A perfect diagram of the growth of a tree, but without the textbook. We inspected it, discussed it, dissected it...
But what was most fascinating to me was the beautiful pair of pink hearts found inside. I thought of Amy (my SIL) immediately, who is ever aware of hearts in nature. It is her reminder from God of His love for her.
This one's for you, Amy...
Not a day goes by that someone around here calls the whole family (or whoever cares to come) over to see something interesting, gross, beautiful, or unique. Paige found this roundworm in a puddle. It brought us a good half hour of entertainment. They were convinced it was a parasite that would have embedded itself into our feet and traveled through our bodies. No one got anywhere near a puddle for the rest of the day.
This one is still a mystery. It was hanging from a thread from a tree. We took it down for a better look. Courtney is holding the thread for me- and not happy about her job.

is this from your new camera lens? Just what I love to see smaller bugs than what I normally have to see. Gross, but cool Fav aunt Kathy
I love the pink hearts. I found one in our flower bed about a month ago. My kids enjoyed the science behind it also. Very cool. I also like your little turtles in the sidebar. I caught myself playing for a couple of minutes. :)
omg! Those things are giving me the shivers. Can you imagine haveing that roundworm in your body. No more bare feet for me! well at least for a few days till I get over the grossness of those! :D
Just realized that I never commented here. I saw this on Chris' phone while we were traveling and I loved it. Still do! Who would have thought to find a pretty pink heart in there?
Enjoyed the videos, too. Worms are kind of neat...
