It’s been a long, hot summer already and we’re still weeks away from fall! My garden is definitely showing the strain even though I have been watering almost every day to make up for the many weeks without rain. One of the ways that I’ve been distracting myself from the sad state of my garden is testing out some new recipes in the kitchen. I have come across some great kid friendly cookbooks here at the Plaza Kid Corner that I would love to share with you!
[5] Frogs love rain, and making funny sound. The first time I encountered a frog in a very “close-up” and personal way was when I was a kid in Thailand. It was a water festival [6], which falls on the hottest month of April. Kids splashed water at each other to celebrate the holiday. Instead of water, a naughty neighbor boy teased me by throwing a little frog at me. Ugh! I screamed and ran away. That was quite a memorable experience.
I’m in a gardening state of mind, and, from the great questions I get at the beautiful Plaza Library, so are lots of Kansas City kids! Each month, we can go a little bit plant-crazy on the Keyword: Kids blog. I’ll review food-related books; share stories, recipes and tips from my backyard garden; and tell you about great events around the metro that kids will love!
