Did You Know . . .

American kids today can identify 1,000 corporate logos but less than 10 plants and animals that live around their homes.

Yikes!  But, as a parent, I believe it.  So, if that's not an argument for trading in a trip to McDonald's  for a picnic lunch and nature walk, I don't know what is!   Or perhaps, as I plan to do Saturday, take the kids with you to the garden center to select some great options for filling those garden pots.
