Rainy Day Fun: Snail Watching

Posted on March 29, 2013 by Linda, A Nature Mom • 10 Comments

After a night of rain, my son usually rushes outside to see if any snails came out.  He found this one yesterday morning on our front walkway.  He crouched there and watched it for about fifteen minutes, then rushed inside to tell me all the cute things the snail did. Photos taken March 28th, 2013 … Continue reading »

Reblogged from Keep'em busy: My little one is still home with the flu, but if he were healthy, we’d be out doing this, too! Enjoy the rainy weather! Continue reading »

Feather, Rain Drops, a Wet Halloween

Posted on October 31, 2012 by Linda, A Nature Mom • 8 Comments

It rained during the night.  My son found this feather in the backyard this morning and asked me to take a photo of it.  Things are dry and calm now, but it will probably be raining for trick-or-treating tonight.  Do ninjas wear rain coats? Continue reading »

We’re having our first rains of the season here in the San Francisco Bay Area.  It’s lovely. For the next several weeks, I’ll be working on a writing project, which will leave me less time for blogging.  In lieu of writing on my blog, I’ll be posting photos of our daily outdoor adventures.

Water Drops

We’re on day four of much-needed rain here in the Bay Area.  My son didn’t feel like going outside today at all, preferring instead to remain inside, constructing Lego farm buildings. I was able to coax him out for a few minutes between rain showers to look for water drops on the plants.   Now … Continue reading »

Rainy Day Backyard Play

Posted on February 29, 2012 by Linda, A Nature Mom • 2 Comments

It’s finally raining!  The easiest way to have some outside play on a rainy day is to put on raincoats and rainboots and send the kids into the backyard.  Our backyard is tiny (only 10′ x 30′), but it’s more than large enough for some rainy day fun.  My boy will stay outside for thirty … Continue reading »
