what i learned in quarantine

I've been quarantined sing March 13, 2020. Thats a total of 5 months, almost half a year. And even though it felt like I accomplished nothing. I have come to realize that I learned and tried out many little things.

1) How to grow tomatoes from seed taken out of a grocery store tomato; not a seedling I brought from a garden center. A SEED! 

2) How to use google apps for learning. I made a Google website and completely customized it with graphic and such. And I scheduled posts and created lessons for virtual learners. What a thrill and learning curve!

3) How to make petty cash from making and selling online resources! Granted I only sold $20 worth of materials but I cannot describe the feeling I got when I received a notification that someone purchased an online resource from me! 

4) How to identify Bird calls. Yes, it is true; I am offically a birder. I just need a pair of binoculars to complete my starter pack. What does that include? 

• Pointing at the sky everytime you see a bird
• Listening to the sounds they make in the morning.
• Talking and whistling at them
• Telling your parent which birds you saw while tending the garden
• Giving them names
• Taking descriptive notes on the birds apperance so I can google them to find out more

I have spotted Mourning Doves, Cardinals, Blue Jays, Woodpeckers, canary birds. Not to mention the frequent small animal visitors we had like the family of Raccoons, Branches the squirrel, Chippy the Chipmunk and the newest critter: the skunk!

Until next time yall!
