Nature Walk |
|
Last Sunday was such a beautiful spring day, five couples took the
opportunity to take a walk through the woods, enjoying the pleasant
day and admiring nature’s newly sprouted beauty. The forest was alive
with wildlife, some recently emerged from their snug winter burrows,
others returning from their long winter migration. They were pleased
to see unusual wildlife during their walk, each couple spotting both
an animal and a bird not seen as commonly as doves or squirrels... |

Winter’s Chill +
Bonus |
|
It’s cold outside! Betty and her husband were speculating last night
that this has been the coldest winter they can remember. Out of
curiosity, they decided to check out the old newspaper records for
this week in their area during past years and were astonished at what
they found. This had indeed been one of the coldest weeks in the last
100 years, but they found other interesting data in the old records
for this week in time... |

confusing, none of the flights are direct; they all have one stop to
refuel along the way... |
