Biology Scavenger Hunt

One of the first assignments that I gave my Biology students this year was to find BIOLOGY all around them. They each had to come up with a creative way to display their findings - This one was one of my favorites!

Return of the Varmint

We caught our varmint friend again - an opossum in the garage. Shortly thereafter we saw the HUGE skunk that lives underneath the deck. Any advice on how to get the skunk to move out would be welcomed.

Run Wild For the Zoo

On July 7th I ran my second race at the Detroit Zoo. I improved my time by 9 minutes! Yahoo! It poured rain almost the entire run. My friend Dave ran with me again - I was so thankful to have him there to keep me going!

Pretty in Pink

Farmer's Market

These are some of my favorites at the Farmer's Market. First and foremost - Otto's Chicken. They come once a month and sell organic - grain fed - no preservatives - nor hormone chicken. I always get the chicken thighs - they are so tasty.


The Oatmeal stand. It's a bit on the pricey side but this Oatmeal keeps me full until lunch - it's chock full of dried apples, plums (aka prunes), raisins, and nuts. I cook it in the morning while I am getting ready for school - it's piping hot and delicious.


Green Peppers for Piggy - SHE LOVES 'EM!

Tim the Director

Tim has put together a really great show this year.
Here he is getting the band to play a little louder.


A few new formations

How cool - do you see how they are shaped into a canon? The tuba section comes shooting out of it!
