Keep Your Kid Curious: The Wonders of Science and Nature by Sharren Reil

Posted on Wednesday, January 12, 2022 05:57 AM

Last Tuesday evening I was walking my dog downtown New Liskeard over behind TDSS when I encountered something so remarkable that I still can’t stop thinking about it! 

As I left the house, I could see that there were many ice crystals in the air, and my deck was super sparkly.  The flash of ice and snow crystals is a big part of the joy I find with winter, but this was way more noticeable than usual.  As I walked past the street lights, I noticed that they had ice auras around them...

J'ai toujours aimé les films, d'aussi loin que je me souvienne. Mon premier souvenir est d'avoir regardé des dessins animés le samedi matin, ce que j'appréciais énormément. Aujourd'hui encore, j'aime regarder des films d'animation pour la famille, du moins ceux qui m'inspirent.
