Family!!!
The newest members of our family
Welcome: Mr. dude
and welcome: DuckyThis morning I put myself to use helping one of my YW leaders to clean her house so she could move out of it. It was like "deja vu" all over again with the moving thing and what's more the house she was living in was the house that my uncle was living in before he moved. Small world yes? Anyway I returned home to find my family raring for an adventure. In other words my parents were dragging us on a family outing that you really don't want to go on but it turns out fun everytime. ( am I the only one this happens to? I don't think so.) So taditionaly my syblings drag there feet to the car and then scuffle over who gets what seat which is finally settled by a stern look from dad. we spent the afternoon at a park: walking the green belt, crossing the bridges, and running from shadey patch to shadey patch trying to beat the heat.On one of the paths we walked we came across two critters begging to be taken home; our new catterpillars:Ducky and Mr.Dude. ( I didn't name them, it was all my sisters doing). Mr. Dude our monarch caterpillar is expected to be changing soon into a crytalis and then into a beautiful monarch butterfly, though he's a little late in the season we're sure he will be fine. As for Ducky little is known as to what exactly he is. We think he may turn into some type of moth though we are not sure what. The only thing we really know is that he likes to eat thistles which are just as prickally as he is. I'll keep you posted to any changes in either of them and together we will watch as they grow and change. While we are on the topic of wild life near my home , we have come to discover a comunity of birds living in the trees around our house. every morning at 6:30 they begin discuss ( loudly) each and everything that comes to mind, the weather, what they dreamed about, what they are going to do that day, is it too soon to leave on the trip south? All of these things very important. and then at 7:00am on the nose the confrence ends, and they leave. Then at 6:25pm they return and debrief. The colaboration continues until sundown about a half an hour later. So among other things we have a society of birds congrigating for the move south , and two new members to our family. peace out everyone keep your lives rolling.
family is EVERYWHERE!
