They are beautiful!!! I love their costumes and know they will give them many hours of pleasure - can't wait to see them.

Tree Flying! Catapillar Naming! Camping!

Going 70mph..."Did you see that catapillar?" "Are you kidding... we're going 70!! A catterpillar???!!!!" Swinging us around we went back for that critter... Hubbie braved the traffic to catch it!!! A Giant Leopard Moth Catterpillar is HUGE!!!


Tree Flying!! Steve launched the kids from the trees!! The aftermath thru the forrest was evidence of the flights! I have some videos... humm.... to post them!????


With spring comes caterpillars!! Caterpillars were adopted and named... Cheetos, Peekaboo, SillySnake, Cheeto....


This Luna Moth joined our camp site. It liked the Hill's Christmas lights :)


It was a definate repeater!!! We had a great time!!! ss

"Mama, shhhh come slowly!" Lovebug called from the kitchen.

We had FIVE Indigo Buntings!!! Wow!! They visited off & on all day. We also were amazed by a new crowd of Goldfinch. A female Goldfinch is with our Indigos as well as a sparrow & Mourning Dove. There's 2 Indigos here, both a boy & girl!!

The crowd of Goldfinch enjoyed baths in the backyard. They preened and dried in a bush that looked like it was alive with wiggles.

We've seen one Indigo before but to host a handfull was wonderful. I wish either the Goldfinch or Indigos would make a home our way!! And I'm praying for a Painted Bunting! Today I could not imagine heaven without these precious birds!!

Grace! ss

We saw an indigo bunting at the walking trail once, just after we moved here. It's the only one we've seen, but I couldn't be more sure that's what it was. How lovely!

Jacob's Ladder

"Mommy, Mommy, I got it!" Jacob's Ladder! Yesterday in our Genisis reading we were at Jacob & Esau. As I looked ahead we'll soon read of Jacob's ladder. I pulled out some string and tried to remember just how to make Jacob's Ladder. I found it on the web too.... this is definately a handicraft!!!

Tonight is the Big Girl & Little Girl Sleep Over. I hope the girls can pick up some string knots tonight.

Update! Beautiful Goldfinch are still with us with a Nuthatch today too! Hubbie had an Xray Monday and has new meds... praying his insides work right!

Grace!! ss

** Update 5/9 Ladybug proudly made her Jacob's Ladder!!! I wondered if her little fingers at 5 could do these tricks. Many times she started only to slip the strings and start again.... Welll start again she did!!! And just a month later she got it!!!
