Nothing pithy today, sorry. In lieu of something original, here are a collection of links and activities that may keep you (or yours) busy this weekend:
- Selfsufficientish, the urban guide to “almost self sufficiency”
- An introduction to square-foot gardening. Yes, it’s probably too late for this year. Plan for next year!
- Make granola bars
- Figure out which bugs are making all that racket outside with The Singing Insects of North America
- Or peruse the myriad horrors that people send into the What’s That Bug? homepage
- Put a pond in a barrel (we did this and will do it again soon)
- Explore the Tree of Life
- Tie a bunch of knots
- Go letterboxing or geocaching
- Make notebooks and such with a simple bookbinding technique
Enjoy!
