Answer...

Yesterday I was asked if the "wooly worm" was a worm or a caterpillar...

Hummmmm?

So I looked it up....

the wooly worm is actually a caterpillar...

it does the usual things every good caterpillar does and then turns into this..

the Isabella Tiger Moth

Wooly Worms....

this past week the Wooly Worms have come out at my house...

the downstairs back porch has been alive with them,

So far most of them have black heads and brown bodies...

I've seen very few with black on both ends....I've seen several solid brown one...

But

Thank goodness NO solid black ones!

If the mountain lore is right this means a nasty beginning to winter and then things settle down.

At the Wooly Worm festival last weekend...the worms predicted very cold temps and very little snow for this winter.....most of the snow at the beginning of the season...

Could the little fuzzy wormies be right?

We'll have to ask the weather gurus....

Brahahahahahaha.....!!

Lobster Man.....!!

Max has never shown a real interest in toys..

Ohhhh

There was the occasional ball toss and the mandatory destroying of the Christmas toy.

But

Never an interest to "play" with a toy.

Now Meg that's another story...

So

Last Friday on the way home I stopped at the Goodwill store and dug through the stuffed toys and found a silly faced banana, a sleepy baby and Lobster Man.

Meg claimed the banana and Max actually pounced on Lobster Man.....

He's carried "LM" upstairs....downstairs....tried to hide LM in the cat bed....the dog bed...under the bed pillows....under his pillow....in the bed under the sheets....on the hearth....in the laundry room....under his blankie.....he's even sat on LM like an egg...he carried LM outside then let me hold it so he (Max) could take a potty break and then wanted LM right back....he's done everything but destroy it....

This is NOT like Max....maybe he needs professional help..

It's Coming.....

...the cold...!!

It's suppose to look like this Saturday and Sunday morning...

Temps are dropping into the low 20's and a heavy frost is predicted...

Wowziers....!!

Time to take in  the plants, animals and small children...

thank goodness my plants are all native.....the animals already live inside and we no longer have small children...

wheeeeeewwwww!

Guess we're safe...
