School Days: Fall 2014














classroom pets

jumpy the frog.
 i found him down on the lowest deck by the creek when i was down there by myself.  
i had to give myself a pep talk in order to grab him.  i'd just rather have george or river do that.

walker and i heard a cat meowing through the air vents.  it was her dream come true.  i was convinced it was the neighborhood bobcat's kittens that were making a home under our house.   gladly it was just this sweet cat, Tiger Lily, that we had on the back porch for 10 days.


we found this caterpillar in the wood chips during the process in which he was changing from a caterpillar to a pupa.  when we first discovered it, this is what we saw:

then 12 hours later or so, it was dark and hard and in pupa stage.  incredible.
