A nature day

Yesterday we went with the girls' 4-H group to a local nature center. We all enjoyed ourselves and the kids were thrilled to get to pet a skunk!

Crazy for the Computer Chloe is currently building her own 'website' using Front Page. So far, everything she has built has been done on her own including design, building the tables and cells, personalizing their properties, inserting hyperlinks, etc. She builds her own graphics using Paint Shop Pro. Also, all content has been written by her with no editing or suggestions from Mom. Check it out here ! Highlights from Today's Nature Walk: 1.

He still seems to be scavenging on Matthew Island. We're considering canoeing out and putting fish (or something) on the bank everyday to ensure that we see him on the Backyard Bird Count (Feb 17-20) www.birdsource.com/
