Yesterday we did Barb’s Nature Study #28 on Dragonflies… and we actually found some! LOL! I think this is the first one this year where we’ve found what we were looking for.

Nature Study: Bees… or not
Bee Theme and nature study idea courtesy of Barb’s Nature Studies… Well, similar to the week we tried to do butterflies… the bug in question was no where to be found. LOL!
