Oven bird you say?

Never heard of this creature

I will look it up

“A small, somewhat chunky warbler…” 🤭

The oven bird - gosh, I'd never heard of it - how fascinating! I love these surprises of nature.

What am I curious about? Today it's my garden: and specifically I'm curious about my interest in gardening, which is pretty new for me! I shall stand at the window and watch the rain splash onto the leaves of the plants that are growing and on the spaces where I plan to add more, and I'm looking forward to the opportunity for horticultural contemplation.

I was thrilled too! I hope I get a chance to spot the babies. Oh I can't wait to hear what you add to your garden. Delaney and I are excited to plant a little garden ourselves the end of the month. We want to add potatoes this year and radishes. I love digging in the dirt. :)

I'm curious why some apple varieties don't have seeds. Random, but I cut an apple this morning that had no seeds. If there are no seeds, how does one cultivate that variety and plant that variety's seedling? I looked it up and found the answer here: https://farmingfreak.com/why-are-some-apples-seedless/

I had no idea some apple varieties don't have seeds. HA! Thank you so much for sharing Mary B. and teaching me something today. :) YAY! I love learning and thank you for the website as I'm so curious as well.

I'm curious why a coach never gets back to me. The only thing I can think of is they read my stack, and it scared them off : )

HA! Could be. Keep being you Richard. :)

My best days are when my curiosity is alive and highly active. When my curiosity wanes, I become lazy and feel like I am going through the motions.

And now, I am curious to find out more about the ovenbird...

This resonates with me as well. Thank you Jack for sharing your thoughts here with us. Yes check out the ovenbird! I'm so amazed and excited to learn of this bird. :) Cheers to curious substackers. :) LOL

I love to search the bible about one thing with my kids at God's Kids. This Saturday, we searched what God's word says about stones. Pretty cool 😎. Then we made cards with our professional card maker, Diane Murdock, cutting stones and insects out of paper. We painted our own stones. We ate rock candy. Then the brave ones (not I) jumped in the pool.

Abigail came up with our next inquiry. Bread. We will see what is in God's word about bread 🍞 next month.

I just love this! Digging through God's word is as exciting to me as looking under rocks on our nature trail at school. You never know what delights you will be surprised by!

the status quo? The above questions do not come from me. They come from my 11 year old granddaughter.

I love your curious grandaughter's questions. I have the same especially about the food. Why do we allow these highly processed foods in our grocery stores when we know they make us sick and cause disease. (okay I will stop here so I don't go on a rant)

I am curious

About curiosity

And why we lack it?

If we were truly curious perhaps we would want to know where our food comes from other than the grocery store? Why each year brings record heat instead of just turning up the air conditioner? Why school shootings persist and politicians do nothing? Why do we tolerate the status

I wonder why we lack it as well. Some more questions I have...What is school for? Do they foster questions? Do encourage or set up learning for curious kids? I'm noticing...
