Science Experiment in the Backyard

My elder son had a science experiment today in regards to soil erosion. The weather was perfect for this. Sunny and 74 degrees.

Aquiring his materials...


Soil Erosion..


And how vegetation protects the soil from erosion...


And speaking of vegetation...look what I found growing under my bird-feeder.

Yep----baby sunflowers.

Then we turned around and saw this over the grill.

A spider working hard at re-building its web.
