Payton's unicycle update.

Payton has started to learn how to unicycle without support.

With support(hanging onto my finger) she can go quite a distance, even off of the curb.

without support she can almost get to 2 full rotations.

100 species challenge

there has been a challenge posted via geekdad blog that they got from this blog.

the challenge is to Identify a 100 plants species within a mile of your home.
geekdad has expanded "...The 100-Species Challenge to include every living thing we could find and photograph – plants, animals, and indeterminate micro-organisms included."

so I will attempt a count down to see if we can identify 100 species.

I found a animal checklist site for BC.
efauna BC


#100. Amanita muscaria var. flavivolvata or Fly Agaric
