Storytime at the Ijams Nature Playscape runs every Saturday from ten to noon, and this week's theme is birds. Volunteer storytellers read a selection of books out in the woods, there is a themed craft, and the rest of the morning is the playscape itself, the natural play area at Grayson Subaru Preserve by Mead's Quarry. It is free; parking is five dollars a car, or nothing for members.
The cold morning
Saturday is the first real fall morning of the season, 40 at dawn and sunny, climbing to 62 by lunch, so this is a jackets-and-hats storytime. Park in the Mead's Quarry main or overflow lot and follow the signs along the short connector trail. An RSVP is not required but helps if the weather cancels it, and after last week's bird-count hike, the birds themselves should be around to point at.
