The Finish Line!
It was a great ride and I definitely learned a lot about Web 2.0 tools. I can certainly see some ways that these exercises could be incorporated into the Library. Am I ready for another 23? Sure!...just give my a little bit to absorb it all!
Keep it Green!

Lightning Struck Trees
Unfortunately the trees that I blogged about earlier that were struck by lightning have died or are dying. I thought maybe the bigger ones might survive because we have had enough rain and not a lot of really hot days. But alas it doesn't look like that will be the case. The cycle of nature will continue, however, and these trees will provide food for insects and the insects will provide food for the birds; particularly the woodpeckers as the trees start to decompose.
We have several different type of woodpeckers who visit our feeders for suet. They are such beautiful birds and ever so wary; particularly the red-headed Flickers. When I hear the rattatattat of these woodpeckers it amazes me that something so small can make such a loud noise...particularly in the morning!
I'm publishing this post from a web-based word processor program called Zoho Writer. Pretty cool!
Wikis
Just for fun, my kids and I created a wiki on wikihow -- how to build a finger church. So we've expanded the knowledge base of the world with this enlightning information! Here's the link:
