What’s Happening Wednesday

Rhode Island (and bordering communities)
Just over the CT line the Denison Pequotsepos Nature Center is holding a ton of wonderful winter events including night hikes (ongoing), and a bee keeping event (1/28) (for adults only). The best part of DPNC? It has the only nature-based preschool in CT-RI area and they are having an open house January 23rd 10-12am. Check ‘em out!
The winter is full of excitement! There are some wonderful opportunities to relax, refresh, renew and be in community.
Next month KidoInfo will be a hot spot to keep an eye on… wonder what these fine folks will share? Get some tips on using social media!
Around the Net
For the New Year my family is going to take heed to this resolution for family walks. I remember as a child walks were so fun… we take lots, but not always as a family. How about you?
Most of our snow has melted, but it probably gets cold enough (or will again soon) to set out containers to build an ice castle. Doesn’t this sound so fun?
I am all for outside play and here is extra inspiration for how and why.
We’re one month into winter, the days are noticeably longer, and although spring is just around the corner, the corner is there… so here are great outdoor traditions.
Next time you’re heading out the door on a parent-child date, think about heading to a place for nature play! (All kids need special time… this is the best way to give it to ‘em!)
It’s never to early to start planning a spring garden. Everyone can garden and here are three great spring veggies for newbie’s! Need seed? Head to the local garden supply store or order online…
Back Home in My Backyard
Just as soon as the weather gets a wee bit nicer, I plan to start my nature path through our back woods.
I want to make the nature path a wonderful natural habitat for lots of animals so we are thinking about what types of homes different animals live in.
We saw a deer in our backyard this morning. Although we have seen signs of their visits, this is the first spotting of the year!
My son came bounding down the stairs this morning saying, “Mommy is it spring yet?” It was 45 degrees today; pretty perceptive.
We went puddle stomping today and got muddy and wet. Oh the joys of the January thaw.

I always look forward to your great roundups, Shannon. Thanks for mentioning nature playdates; we have grown to love them. We’ve set out our first birdfeeder and are enjoying the results – more birds & squirrels are visiting our backyard than before! Can’t wait to hear more about your nature path – it sounds like a great way to welcome in the critters.
Thanks for the mention Shannon. I’m pretty sure I’ve got some ideas on the animal homes side. I love the nature path concept. My garden isn’t big enough for more than a mini-path!
I’d love animal home ideas!! the nature trail won’t be that long, but we live right near a pond so lots of critters hang out around here and I want to encourage them to hang out lots! Plus I think it will be a nice lesson for the children.
