After many days of heat out of season, now the ice is all over again, going from the goats in the morning we see already now the pup cacchette frozen, the water of Zoi (our dog) is a hard block, a bit later, the mud a few days ago is as hard as stone ... the grass near the road is crisp with frost and a little farther on there are now frozen pozzangherette. Then came the stable, with a wonderful gift: from the tap outside, closed again a few days earlier because of weather, icicles hang like stalactites and stalagmites!
Every day the ice-stalagmite grows in height while the tastefully stalatitte is eaten by children. :)
And then, as I said, we talked about crystals, because the ice is a crystal of water ... as is the snowflake (now it snows!). Then he spoke of the crystals which have at home, or seen around, we realized that the salt and sugar are crystals and I remembered rock sugar candy " it was something I ate once a child , and I remember that I did not understand how the sugar would stick to stick. I wanted to know my the same thing, so we asked Uncle Google and saw "growing sugar crystals" (growing crystals) and not only "learning how to grow crystals" (learn how to grow crystals) were ... stunned everyone ... but! crystals grow !???!!
After translating a recipe into English, to compare it with another in Italian we were ready for lunch and then we said "tomorrow." But tomorrow we got an invitation to visit friend before going to the dentist in the afternoon. Our friend took us to a flea market where Shana has discovered a Kit ... (roll drum) ... Tadah !!!..... for Growing Crystals! and for the price they had I could not take it.
Today we have already experienced the first growth phase of our first crystals of sugar ... and I think for now I close. I hope tomorrow to do a second round of sugar crystals in case goes wrong the first.
