Critter Camera Excerpt:
Eddie thought for a moment. “Wouldn’t it be awesome if we could watch animals come to the garden without them seeing us? Like…with a hidden camera or something.”
Luis’ eyes lit up. “Yes! Like spies!” he exclaimed.
“You actually might be onto something,” said Mr. deSouza. “That’s a real thing. It’s called a wildlife camera. They use it to film animals without bothering them.”
Today’s Meditation: Love flows through you in this meditation as you imagine a baby fawn and mama deer.
