The November Adventure Theme is “Bake it Forward”

The November Adventure Theme is “Bake it Forward”

November’s Library Adventure activity is “Bake it Forward.” “Nothing says lovin’ like somethin’ from the oven,” as the Pillsbury commercials used to say, so why not make use of the cooler weather and mix up some favorites to share with those who give you something to be grateful for! Muffins for Mom, Cookies for Coworkers, Bread for Babysitters, Gingersnaps for Garbage Men, Pies for Police, Fudge for Friends… you get the idea. Better yet, skip the alliteration and just bake what feels right at the time! Try a classic you love and make the adventure about bringing it to the recipient, or try something new that you’ve been looking for an excuse to make. Up the adventure factor and include the kids or grandkids in the baking and deliveries. As long as it’s done in the spirit of gratitude and fun, there’s really no wrong way to do it!

Seed Ball Workshop Held Monday, July 8

The Meadowlark District Extension Office presented their Seed Ball Workshop on Monday, July 8 at 1:30 PM. The kids made wildflower seed balls, learned why seed balling is beneficial to growing plants and helping pollinators, discussed a bit about soil conservation, and took home the start to an adventure in growing their own wildflowers!

A special thanks to Laura Phillips, Extension Agent and Horticulturist, for presenting this fun and educational opportunity here at the library!
