Rambling Blahs
WARNING: incoherent drivel follows I have Benedryl incuded blahs this morning. I love what it does for me… reduces the swelling and itching when my dermatitis gets really bad, BUT I hate what it does to me… very foggy hard to think blahs. So, I am thinking it is time to take this to a [...]
Jekyll & Hyde Moth
It seems our fuzzy bunny moth is actually a Black-waved [Crinkled] Flannel Moth — Lagoa crispata. Click here to see the caterpillar form. While the moth is cute the caterpillar is definitely Mr Hyde! If you go here at BugGuide.net, scroll down and read about one woman’s ride to the ER after accidentally brushing against [...]
Tablet Weaving
I finally made one that looks like it is supposed to. Woot! It took a bit of futzing for me (until 2am one night) to get the turning right but by golly I did. First I had my forward and backward directions confused. Then I had to reallly lighten up on my weft tension. If [...]

Fuzzy Bunny Moth
I haven’t been able to figure out what type of moth this is, but doesn’t he look kinda like a fuzzy bunny? LOL! That is Jessie’s finger he is on. He is quite small. Here is a side view. He looks EVEN more like a bunny with moth wings… ok and a few extra legs. [...]
Outing Cancelled
because Mom’s a wimp… a scatterbrained one at that. While I did remember to reserve a boarding spot at the vet for Kirby, I forgot to actually take him there. Whoops. We’re sitting there at dinner when Sam said, “Mom, aren’t we supposed to take Kirby to the vet?” It was 7:30pm. He was supposed [...]
Busy Weekend
It is going to be a busy weekend! Not exactly jam packed, just busy with the last preparations for our first day at Lilies War. I did get the tabbards finished. Huzzah! I am such a slow seamstress. Since we are day-tripping it, we have enough garb. Huzzah again! I have a second dress cut [...]

New Morning Ritual
… checking the back of the garage for beauties like this Great Leopard Moth (Hypercompe scribonia). Err… at least that is what I think it is. Click on the link to see it bigger and go to the album where you can see more of the beauties we found this morning.
Northern Crayfish
The kids have been introduced to a new critter… the Northern Crayfish. ‘Least that’s what Sam’s research has turned up. (yes, I counted it as a science lesson) We found this guy today at Bear Creek. There are more pictures of our outing here as well as a few others. I’ve been trying to get [...]

Mug Shot
Lookee what I bought! How I found it is as circuitous as the finding of the “little nut tree” nursery rhyme. I’d responded to an email of free packing peanuts on freecycle. (I use them in bean bag chairs I made for the kids.) The location of the packing peanuts was a local bike repair [...]

I Had a Little Nut Tree
It is funny sometimes how one piece of information leads to others… I’ve been looking through Brightly Beaming’s prepatory curriculum to get ideas for things to do with Jessie starting next month. Their week 2 mentions a nursery rhyme that I’d never heard of called “I Had a Little Nut Tree.” So… I Googled it [...]
