Fall Nature Walk

10/22/2015

The littles and I went for a fall walk the other day and I have to laugh at just how little I knew before moving to the country.  Take Buckeyes for example...To me they were a wonderful peanut butter and chocolate candy but it was rare to see a real buckeye, and I had no earthly idea how or where one found buckeyes.  All that has changed since we moved out to the country.  

The boys and I went for a ride on our Gator (by far my favorite farm toy) and we decided to go for a walk near the creek bed on our property.  As we were talking about the changing leaves I began seeing them, the buckeyes.  I knew they were out there because the older kids had brought almost 2 gallons of them in the house to make crafts with.  They were all scattered among the leaves and if you looked closely you could just see slight shiny brown spots under the fallen leaves.

Once we started finding them the little boys got so excited that they filled their pockets full of buckeyes.  We even found twins in one of the dried out pods.

All in all it was like a treasure hunt and it kept the boys busy for over an hour so it was pretty fun too.  And my boys now know another place to look for buckeyes besides the refrigerator at Christmas time.
