There seems to be a confluence of curriculum in 1st, 4th, and 8th grades in the Bloomington Public School system. All three kids are doing earth science this year. Elizabeth's science class began with an overview of the geo-spheres and now they're discussing geologic time. Robert was waxing poetic this morning about metamorphic rocks and just a few weeks ago they were studying erosion. His classroom worked with models of the Elwha Dam so they could predict what will happen when it is removed. Colleen's classroom is keeping it simple and fun by gathering a rock collection.
Speaking of our good earth, what's with the trees this year? Our leaves all turned and fell but our neighbors' trees are mostly still green. Should we be concerned?

Do your neighbors water their lawn (and trees)?
When we water the lawn we hit the tree but I don't think we've purposefully watered just the tree. Maybe we should've.
Still, it doesn't get less water than trees in parks, on blvds, etc., and most of them are not bare. Perhaps your tree is just an early adapter, naturally ready to move ahead at the least provocation. Just remember this next year at this time and compare.
