On January 6, 2012 I found an ice crystal. This ice crystal is formed on moss. When the moss is wet and the air is cold the moss will stick up and turn into an ice crystal. I found more ice in a stream – it had a crack.

The Rock Wall

Why would some rock wall be in the middle of a forest? The pilgrims and other settlers had farm walls made of rock to keep cows and other wildlife animals that can’t get in the territory. Also, can you imagine all the rocks and minerals that are in New England? There are like more than 100 rocks and minerals here. I mean there are a lot of granite kitchen counters because of all of the rocks and minerals. Even my kitchen counter is made of granite.

Golden leaves

I took a picture of golden leaves on the ground. It made me think of when I help clean up brush. (Fallen sticks from trees.) It is also beautiful to see golden on the ground. It could be useful to make a birds nest so they can survive.

Earthworms go in dirt to live. They don’t like the sun. They come up if danger is in the dirt or for getting wet. Earthworms like getting really really moist a lot.
