Frankfurt Flora and Fauna

 For a Girl Scouts project one year, Clarissa and her troop made posters and shared a pdf of the flora and fauna around the housing compound and the duck pond. Here's some things they saw (and hopefully everything was properly IDed): 

Leatherleaf Viburnum (Viburnum rhytidophyllum)

Mallard (Male) - (Anas platyrhynchos)

Mallard (Female) - (Anas platyrhynchos)

Feral Pigeon - (Columba livia domestica)

Carrion Crow - (Corvus corone)

Common Daisy - (Bellis perennis)

Winter Aconite - (Eranthis hyemalis)

Great Cormorant - (Phalacrocorax carbo)

Common Moorhen - (Gallinula chloropus)

Egyptian Goose - (Alopochen aegyptiaca)

European Firebug - (Pyrrhocoris apterus)

Eurasian Red Squirrel - (Sciurus vulgaris)

Snowdrop Anemone (also called Madonna anemone) - (Anemonoides sylvestris)

Norway Maple - (Acer platanoides)

Deer Mushroom - (Pluteus cervinus)

Oregon Grape - (Berberis aquifolium)

You will have to come visit us and check out the poster, if you want to know exactly where things were spotted and three fun facts about each!

Holidays 2021

Obviously a fail.....but here's some pictures in a effort to catch up (and I'm weird and like posts in chronological order...sort of in hopes of the kids reading back over them one day and treking down memory lane.....).

Tree was decorated...

Cookies were made....

Silly elf shenanigans, but it looks like Santa came!

Christmas meal (the hair and fruit says breakfast, the ketchup says dinner) and the tall child working to get over jet lag after a trip to Texas for the holidays.
