Web-surfing Sunday: Backyard fun

 flower petals                                                                      

 

Spring is here -- and your school-age kids are probably bringing home buds in baggies, earthworms to feed, and other charming signs of the season. They're probably itching to get outside, and full of questions about what's growing there -- questions for which you've probably forgotten the answers. (At least I have, if I ever knew them.)

Backyardnature.net is a fun source for projects and knowledge about the backyard, with subjects ranging from "the many kinds of fungi" to 101 Things to Do This Spring.
