 I accidentally killed a giant spider in the doorway, outside. Ants 🐜 munched it up in an afternoon. 

Nature doesn’t let anything go to waste 🤯 
 Yesterday, my kids gave an ant a piece of popcorn and watched it carry it across gravel, sand, rocks, all the way back to its colony. It took the ant about 40 minute to get it all the way back. They were cheering it on, making bets, predicting what would stop it, or if it was going to make it. The kernel had to be ten times its size and the sheer determination of that ant was astounding. The kids then spent another two hours placing food around the colony and watching them work. 
 LOVE THIS … if they are like mine they will want to learn more 🫂🫂🫂

I used it a lot when I homeschooled and tutored others kiddos 🧒 
 Yeah, thanks! A lot of my students use it at home too. 
 You’re a teacher as well. Awesome 👏 LOVE ❤️ THAT 
 I am 💜🫂 
 Thanks you for all you do. Love and hugs 🤗 
 Ah thanks, but I don’t deserve any more thanks than anyone else. We all have a role to play. 🤙🤗 
 Absolutely 💯 Definitely 💯 agree on that. You’re welcome though. I’ve found most often people fail to thank them so. 🥰🤗🫂 
 Efficient ol lady 
 Do not kill spiders! They are "in charge" with eating flies and mosquitoes... Now you disrupt some natural chain and you will see more flies around.
