WAIT… PRAYING MANTISES DANCE?!

Little dude started swinging back-and-forth!!
Turns out praying mantises do this to imitate a leaf moving in the breeze, which helps them stay hidden from predators and prey. The movement may also help them judge how far away something is.

A wildflower bracelet… or technically, a tiny flower crown for your wrist 🌼🍀

Pick clover and wildflowers with long, bendy stems, overlap them one at a time, and wrap each new stem around the last. Keep adding until it fits, then tuck the ends together.

Such a simple, sweet summer activity—and somehow even better when you make it outside with flowers you just found.

Geese do try to like people. They honk hello, follow you around, then test the friendship by biting your shoelaces and stealing your lunch. Naturally.
