The Second Entry
I read a book today about astronomers that lived a long time ago. I got some ideas from the pictures and I drew blueprints about the pictures. They are blueprints for reflecting telescopes (they are also for spectroscopes - a spectroscope is an instrument that is used to see spectrums - that is why it's called a spectroscope).
The astronomer I read about most Kirchhoff. Kirchhoff used a spectroscope but he did not invent it.
I want me and my dad to build spectroscopes and telescopes while I am still young so we can experiment with them.

A Gardener's Journal
I found this article in one of my favorite magazines. It is about gardening. (You can read the article by clicking on the image).
It has real good tips for good gardening and this magazine has a list of plants that attract birds, butterflies, dragonflies and bees.

The First Entry
Me and Dad decided to start a magazine, along with this Blog today. This is the first entry. We are going to talk about and discuss things we do and would like to do.
I've decided to put a section called games. In this section of the magazine there will be instructions for different games. I have designed a game called "Journey Across the Island". In this game you have go across an island without having to go to the repair shop. You are given two game pieces at the beginning of the game - a horsecart and a boat. The two players travel in opposite directions across the island. If their paths bring them to the same "docks" or "stops" at the same time, the person's boat or horsecart that was there first will have to go to the repair shop before continuing on their journey.
