Enjoy the Summer at Home

The year 2020 has been a bit different to say the least. Running out of T.P, having to stay home, not being able to attend school or church or even play on the playground are just a few things that have taken place. So how have you been able to deal with it all?? 

This summer has all ready shown to be a bit different as well. With fairs and events being cancelled it may seem like there is no summer fun at all. But wait there are many things that you can still do. Staying at home can be fun and add a spark to your life Right in your own backyard may lay lots of fun to entertain the entire family. 

Why not head outside on a clear night to do a bit of sky gazing. Looking at the night sky and those twinkling stars offers you a chance to relax and maybe even learn something. Perhaps you will participate in this activity during a meteor shower. Spread a blanket out or find a lawn chair take  a rest and simply look at the stars and watch the show so to speak.

As a child I recall chasing and catching lightning bugs. What a fun activity to catch these bugs and place in a jar to offer you a light in the night. However, the firefly population is decreasing 

The stars aren’t the only sparkling show that you can see from your backyard. Fireflies come out to play in the summer months, and they can be quite fun to watch. If you are interested in catching these “show-offs,” you will want to do so carefully as the firefly population is decreasing you will want to protect the little bugs as well. Capture the bugs and place in a jar with holes punched in the lid so they have fresh air. A moist paper towel in the jar will help keep the air at a level the bugs can survive. Finally, release the little bugs at the end of the night.

There are many other things you can do to have fun in your backyard what is  it you love to do??
