She was studying the ants and I just wanted to finish the walk. It was a huge challenge for me to really realize that was the whole point of walking with the children anyway and that I should be sitting beside them to study the bugs they find rather than trying to coax them along.

The other day, my daughter and I were building puzzles on the back porch, and two geckos joined us. I believe one was a female--she was brown like the color of the wood. The other was bright, lime green and puffed out its bright red throat. One summer day, my daughter was eating a popsicle. We were both sitting on the rocking chairs on our back porch. Suddenly, a hummingbird (ruby throated) spied Pamela's popsicle and got about six inches in front of her face before deciding it was not edible. I love moments like that!
