That's my girl!!
She's building a "teeter-tot"

This is a Cecropia Moth. They are so cool. They can have a wing span of 5 to 6 inches. This guy (and yes we know it's a boy) has a wing span of about 5 1/2. The girl moth emits pheromones at night (Oh, love is in the air da da da dada), which the fella moth can detect with his big bushy antennae. (That's how we know ours was a guy.) He will then fly in search of her, miles if necessary. That is a lot of flapping for those wings. We kept him for the day in a jar.Releasing him in the evening,so he could find himself a little gal moth.

Sophisms

Mom: “Don't get out of your chair again until you finish your lunch."
Soph: “You're ruining my life!"

We're having a heat wave...

It's starting to heat up! Temps are reaching into the 20's and only dropping to the low teens at night. There for awhile it was dropping down around 0 degrees. And yes that's Fahrenheit. Our poor wood stove can hardly keep up at night.

 

Kitty on the War Path

 

Sledding in the front yard!

 

Our Kitty hates TP. It's the enemy! He'd kill a roll night if he could.








Bad Kitty!










Another wounded roll.

 

Good-bye 2006
