Fresh Air Friday - counting and planting

Today we counted our steps all the way around Whispering Woods! Some of us
tallied, some of us counted...our steps are all different so this was called "non-
standard" measurement. Most of us counted between 400-600 steps! We had
4 different checkpoints to gather together so no one was too far ahead or behind.

On our way, we saw the ALBERTA ROSE blossoming and so many BUFFALO
BEANS blooming. Did you know....
They are also known as “Golden Beans” or “Prairie Bean”.

Although they are members of the pea family and produce bean like pods, they are also toxic and so should not be eaten.

First Nations people used the Buffalo Beans as a source of yellow dye and to time their bison hunt. It is said that when the Buffalo Beans bloomed, the bison would be passing through and their meat would have of the desired quality for hunting.

After counting we planted CARROTS and SQUASH in the sun circle planters. Thank you to all who volunteered to get our gardens ready. Ask me what the difference is between carrot and squash seeds? Ask me how I planted the seeds. Thank you to all the volunteers that signed up to help water our plants through the summer months!!

SaaKokoto will be here for a visit next Friday.
