It has been an uneventful week so far. The weather has cooperated by not raining or hailing on me during field class. The kids are all little angels - the ones at camp, not the ones at home. We're apparently not raising any angels. I let Alex's crayfish go in the pond today, since he's terrified of it and won't clean its cage. It is growing back the claw and the leg that is was missing when it arrived at our house. A few more moultings and it will look less lopsided. Of course it could become raccoon or egret food before it gets that far. We'll never know.
Speaking of missing legs, we also found a six-legged Black Widow today. The kids were impressed.

The clouds are moving in. About an hour from now I'll be hiking into the night with 23 fifth and sixth graders. Will it rain on us? Yesterday's astronomy program was clear and beautiful. One of the smoothest programs I've helped run. Tonight is still a mystery.
