While the media is glued to the Beer Summit this week- our family focus was intrigued and captived by something more interesing- caterpillars. While playing in the backyard after lunch we discovered a furry caterpillar on his way to a grove of trees in the corner of our lot.
We watched him for the entirety of his 5 minute trip to the tree line. He was so cute and the world seemed so big to his little eyes. But he took an unexpected turn (and no, the dog didn't eat him) towards the fence. He decided to leave the paradise of our yard for the open pastures of our southern neighbors.
Sticks and leaves stuck through the fence to coax him back were no good. He left us. Sigh.
But the world brightened as we turn back towards the trees- another little fellow was there waiting for us to follow him around for another 15 minutes.
Mother Nature is so interesting! How have you spent your time today?
