It is spring! For most of us we are starting to see the beginnings of a greener world with warmer temperatures and more outdoor activity. The poll on my Spring Squidoo lens shows that most readers experience the first signs of spring in the month of March. I know that the participants of the Outdoor Hour Challenge have been taking advantage of the spring weather and this blog carnival gives you lots of spring time inspiration.
I wanted to feature this entry and make sure to let you know about a special thank you I received from Angie (Pebblekeeper). What better way to start off this edition of the carnival!
I love hosting the Outdoor Hour Challenges each week and this carnival is a fun way to keep you all in touch, as a way to build a community. Thank you for all your effort and support of nature study in your families. It is noticed.
Enjoy your carnival!
