Comments (20)Jim, I watched my caterpillars do much the same thing. Once they are ready, they don't waste time. I had 4 moving about looking for that perfect spot at the same time. I think that only one made it to butterfly. Here is one that I am not sure what happened. Just what is this bee up to?...See MoreI'll Show You Mine if You Show Me Yours Thurs Mar 12
Comments (17)One's trash ... is someone else's treasure. Squirrels don't bother me much, but they can be a nuisance. But coons - they can be real pains in the patoot, at times ... e.g. when they pull down over a hundred ears of sweet corn ... and take about one bite out of each. That I'd figured to take to a couple of churches, social agencies, etc. Almost did, putting on a sign, "Using a sharp knife, cut out the chewed part and a bit extra: the rest, wrapped by the husk, is O.K. - even if you're playing second fiddle to a coon!". ole joyful...See MoreI'll Show You Mine if You Show Me Yours THurs Mar 26
Comments (11)We had a big black snake climb into a shrub several years ago. The only reason I saw it was because a pair of catbirds with a nest in the shrub started screeching.

The guide explained that the narrow design of the staircase was in part for defensive reasons. In case of enemy approach, the castle residents would go to a higher level in the structure and intruders would find it very difficult to broach an assault while ascending the high and narrow staircase. Then the castle residents would be in a position of advantage to attack the intruders.

A piece of art in the apartment I stayed in in Los Angeles last week for the conference.
The white thing in the foreground is a large easy chair. That's one big cat!
