Kids give us hope!  Nature gives us hope!  Phenology Talkbacks celebrate both of those!  Phenology is the rhythmic biological nature of events as they relate to climate. Tuesday mornings we hear from kids as they share their observations of nature. This week we heard from kids all around the listening area and we even received an update from Tennessee! 

Kids in Cohasset reported rain, snow and green grass! 

  Myles in Hill City gives a stellar report including  march marigolds, mallards, and hunting for bigfoot and!

As a mail carrier in rural Grand Rapids, Minn., for 35 years, John Latimer put his own stamp on a career that delivered more than letters. Indeed, while driving the hundred-mile round-trip daily route, he passed the time by observing and recording seasonal changes in nature, learning everything he could about the area’s weather, plants and animals, and becoming the go-to guy who could answer customers’ questions about what they were seeing in the environment.
