If you have a child 2 years of age or older, the University of Maryland, Baltimore County's Child Development Lab wants to know how they think. Volunteer for a 20-minute opportunity to contribute to science by participating in thinking games with the researchers. Various activities may involve listening to or reading a story, manipulating objects, looking at pictures and videos, coloring, memory games, and answering questions. They will be at CCM on Tuesdays in August from 10 am to 2 pm. Appointments are helpful but not required. Each child receives a small prize for participating.

One of the few blue foods is the blueberry!

The plant is native to North America - here long before people - and can be found in the wild from Mexico to Canada.

Farming of blueberries didn't really happen until the early 1900's.

About 100 years later it was discovered that blueberries are a "superfood".

They're in season right now. Enjoy!

Everything good, everything magical happens between the months of June and August.
