  • Chapter 62- Urban Ecology Center & Love Handle

    On Saturday I took the kids to the Urban Ecology Center’s Plant Sale.  We looked at the plants and flowers for a quick bit, then headed inside to check things out. We stopped at the Native Wisconsin Animal Room, and checked out the reptiles. The nice guy working even took out a snake for us…
