Flora and Fauna - EVERYWHERE!
Go out into nature, and take a break. Pause to observe the flora (plants) and fauna (animals) around you. This could be at a local park or even in your own backyard! Log what you see and hear. What do your eyes see? What do your ears hear? What do you feel? What do you smell? Did you taste anything? Tell us the story!

Build an animal habitat or insect habitat for where you live. Owl boxes are all the rage this year!
