metamorphosis and hibernation


Do you Michiganders remember those bug boxes we made at Wheatland in September? Well look who's living in one of them. We stuck a fat caterpillar inside the day before the first frost, and within a week he had turned into this chrysalis. Hard to tell if there is still any life in there. We'll keep you posted.



One of Louise and Thalia's favorite winter delicacies... fresh snow puffs and icicle delights. (I do not encourage this habit, but my dissuasion is to little avail.)

It's been a winter wonderland around here, the stove is burning bright and our imaginations are on full gear to stave off cabin fever! Which means that the stuffed animals who hibernate in the girls room all summer (while we're busy outside) have come back to life in a big way.
