Petals, Petals, Petals.

Just for the update:

Everyone has completed the Red petal.

Everyone who completed the Good Deed Daisy has completed the Yellow petal.

Girls who attended the Eagle field trip in February will complete the Green petal when they finish their Grocery Bag Jump rope; those who were unable to go along on the field trip, or don't want to make a jump rope, there are a couple of other easy options:

• Do a little backyard birding. Check out this picture of common Missouri winter birds. What species are still around? How many of each kind hang out in your backyard? Are there other birds? How are they like or different from the birds in the picture? There are lots of great birding resources on the Missouri DNR website.
• If you'd prefer to do something more active or have a family outing, the Department of Conservation has frequent free programs that might be fun. Wetland for Kids will be held at August A. Busch Conservation Area in St. Charles county this Saturday; a Wildflower program at Powder Valley in Kirkwood next weekend; other events are posted here.
• Or, just have your girl help sort the recycling & take it to the recycling center or the curb. Teach her to look for the triangle on the bottom and how to tell the difference between materials.
  

We will be completing more petals--spring green, violet, orange, and rose are in progress--in future meetings, as well as beginning to prepare to Bridge to Brownies!
