Little things in nature

When you are 2 years old, there are lots of interesting things in the world. In this case it's as simple as a drop of water.

My inquisitive granddaughter joined me on a cool rainy afternoon recently. She was fascinated by tiny drops of water the rain had deposited on horizontal limbs close to the ground. Of course I was fascinated, too.

I showed her how to very carefully and slowly touch a drop of water with her finger and watch as it left the limb and went to her finger. I know this is a very small lesson to teach, but nature has the ability to entertain both the young and the old.
