Josie Out of Doors

By Vickilane

It is almost summer and you know what that means--it is time to Play Outside! After we did some inside stuff (I helped with the laundry), we went down to my house so I could play in the branch and on my sandpile.
I put the wet clothes is the dryer. I am a big help. Meema says so.
My waterfall is good for washing hands . . .

And for getting water to throw around.

Also, I played on my sandpile.

Sometimes Daddy uses it to make concrete but it is mostly mine.

Up at the house, I explored around the fish pond. I saw tadpoles and something else--

It was a Blue-Tailed Skink!

He got a drink of water and then

And then he stretched out on the crane's feet!

I tried to follow him when he ran away but I think he went home to a hole under a rock.

There are lots of flowers to look at. These are Siberian Irises.


Did you know that if you touch trees and plants very gently, it helps them grow? I helped a lot of things grow today.
