A Red and Green Walk

By far, the Nature Study Through the Holidays study has been our biggest seller. For that, we thank YOU! The short and simple activities tied into the Advent theme are just enough during this busy season in our house.

Last week, my three children and I headed to a local cemetery for a red and green scavenger hunt, as suggested in Nature Study Through the Holidays. Luckily for us, it was a mild day, so we took advantage of the fresh air opportunity as we scoped out small glimpses of red and unique greens in nature.

Here are some photos from our walk. We found more reds that we had predicted!

Some research is leading me to think this is a prickly sow thistle, but I'm not quite convinced yet. Any ideas?
