Books for Christmas ... yeah!

Christmas has come and gone.  We had all three of our children and their spouses in for Christmas and it is always fun to see them and hear their stories.  We took several walks on the farm.

I received three books for Christmas ... THANKS!

Across Many Mountains by Yangzom Brauen (a family's story about their escape from Tibet and life in exile)
The Forest Unseen by David George Haskell (professor at the University of the South - Sewanee)
The Appalachian Trail by The Appalachian Trail Conservancy (a coffee table book ... but the pictures and story, WOW!)
Most unique gift was from Sue's Uncle Glen ... a piece of amber with a bee in it!
We had a very good Christmas!

I hope my AP Bio students will get to work on their Christmas assignment now that Christmas is over ... Lots of work to do before May!  Don't forget to take some notes for the discussion questions at the end of the assignment sheet!  Good luck!

We have started feeding the birds (sunflower seed).  We keep one feeder close to the house ... lots of juncos, golden finches (brownish green in the winter), cardinals, titmouse, red-bellied and hairy woodpeckers, nuthatches, bluejays and many more ... mostly finches below.  Some better pictures later!
