The Enchanted Forest

Good Morning Strongstart Families.

I hope you all had a Fun and Safe weekend.

I have been taking a lot of walks on these

sunny Fall days as I love walking in the leaves,

hearing them crunch under my feet and looking at  the colors of

the trees  all aglow.

This weekend I met a very Special Lady named

Nickie Lewis.

Nickie has been creating nature sculptures

in Robert Burnaby Park for the last Five months.

This is her latest one called a Fairy/Mermaid home.

Nickie used only twine and twigs to produce all this

amazing artwork in the Park.

This is The Guardian of the park

Nickie has named him. She has worked

three hours a day and many more hours

on weekends to create these Beautiful creatures.

This is the Dragon!

If you look closely you can see a baby and some eggs.

This one is my favorite!

I call her the Angel of the forest!

Nickie has a web site called,

The Wizards Makery that has a map to

show you where they are in the Park.

I do hope you get a chance to go and find them.

Nickie is curious to see what Mother Nature will

do with the sculptures over time? Maybe they will

be covered by vines or moss over the winter,

or frost , ice and snow?

What do you think will happen to them?

I am wondering how many more

Nickie will create in the Forest!

Thank-you so much Nickie for your

Beautiful  Art in the Park!

Bats, Bats and more Bats

Little brown Bats are the most common Bats in Canada.

There have been 19 species of Bats  recorded in Canada.

A baby Bat is called a pup, that drinks only their Mothers milk

for the first three weeks of life. At three weeks old they begin

to fly and eat insects and are weaned from it’s Mothers milk when they are

about twenty six days old. Flying around they catch 1000 insects in just one

hour, mosquitoes, midges, moths, beetles and other flying insect.

Bats can move up to 1000 km from their summer roosts to their

winter roosts where they hibernate in caves or abandoned mines.

Hibernacula is what a winter roost is called and it is a place with

high humidity and it is stable with above freezing temperatures.

The little brown Bat is a true hibernator as it slows down it’s

heart rate and breathing at this time. Summer roosts are in

tree cavities or other places that stay dark and warm during the day.

Little brown Bats have excellent vision as well as use echolocation to

navigate and find food as they fly at night and sleep all day.

Pumpkins everywhere!

Thanks to Save-on-foods at High gate,

And our new Buy-low foods on Edmonds.

Both stores have generously donated hundreds

of pumpkins to Morley school for our Pumpkin patch.

Each Child was able to hunt for the right pumpkin for

their family to decorate or maybe cook?

Here are a few ideas of what to do with a pumpkin.

 

 

Best ever pumpkin muffins.

1 1/2 cups flour

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp cinnamon

3/4 cup oil

1 cup sugar

2 eggs

1 cup pumpkin

1/2 cup raisins

mix together in order and bake for 1/2 hour at 350 degree

in the oven, yum enjoy!

If you are using a fresh pumpkin,

clean out the inside, keep seeds for roasting

in a slow oven till golden brown. Cut up

pulp into big chunks and put in the oven to cook.

when soft, strain water from pumpkin in strainer or

cheese cloth, then use the pulp to make muffins, pies etc.

Welcome back everyone!

I am excited to see everyone again!

It has been a very long time since we have

been together. Please register as soon as

possible so we can start making up scheduled

days that you can come. (NO DROP IN ANYMORE!)

I have some songs and a story for you today I hope

you will all enjoy!

the second story. I will post tomorrow. Take care,

See you soon, Ms. Trish
