Dirt.

Every Spring I lead my son's class in a "gardening adventure." We dig up worms and add them to the veggie bed, we collect sticks, we make a trellis, we sow peas, we mix in compost... it's one of the highlights of my Spring. I have so much fun that I don't even stop to take pictures. And that's saying a lot. Ask my friends who have a love-hate relationship with my camera. 
   
My apologies go out to the tortured salamander that got passed between 20 very excited kindergarteners.
