Greetings Earthlings! In this EL, I want to introduce some thoughts about what we are doing here as Earthlings, as a species (a living group that is similar looking and can have babies like themselves) called Human. Scientists have figured that we have been evolving (developing gradually from ancestors closely related to us) on Earth… Continue Reading
Greetings Earthlings! I promised to talk more about our earth’s atmosphere in this letter. This is a huge subject and I will write only about one tiny bit of it so you might get interested and, I hope, want to find out more. I am like the Pied Piper leading you here and there to… Continue Reading
Greetings Earthlings! I have been thinking about my cat’s fur. How come my cat, Port, can be comfortable in very cold or very hot temperatures and he never has to change his clothes (fur)? You and I have to wear different clothes for different temperatures but cats don’t. Why? What is special about a cats… Continue Reading
Greetings Earthlings! I was just thinking about two of my favorite things, maple trees in the fall and wild cherry blossom in the spring… Do you remember how in the early spring we saw some of the ‘true color’ of leaves as they came out of their buds and had not yet blushed green with… Continue Reading

As it grows older it… Continue Reading

One of my favorite things on Earth. Those objects that just sit there and don’t go anywhere, but they contain… Continue Reading
Greetings Earthlings! I’m seeing GREEN! Winter was coming to an end in the North east of the United States when I arrived last week. All the trees and shrubs were shades of brown and grey except the plants we call ‘evergreen’. The sun shown on the fine branch tips and they flashed in the wind… Continue Reading
Greetings Earthlings! What is happening out there? The only way to find out is to look around and notice stuff. For instance, right now I am sitting on a swing and a light breeze is blowing. Over head I observe many small dark birds. It is early evening and I think to myself what is… Continue Reading
Greetings Earthlings! Soil. What is it good for? Why is there so much of it around under our feet? Very nice to look at, walk on and run on…but that couldn’t be the whole story… Let’s look at soil from the point of view of a root and maybe we can begin to ‘get to the root’ of… Continue Reading
