In the garden with dirt!



We are finally getting started on our butterfly habitat!








There's just something about digging in the dirt.  If you haven't done it in a while, find a reason soon!  A student's parent recently asked me how I had gotten into paleontology field work.  I began by attending a Paleontology Field School for Educators because I love to learn and I like to find interesting summer professional development.  But I've continued largely because I've discovered the joy and peace of digging in the dirt.  Something of a meditation, putting hands into soil nurtures the soul.




There's a Book for That!
Jump Into Science: Dirt by Steve "The Dirtmeister" Tomecek
