Caterpillers have a new home

Our cute little BIG caterpillars have all attached themselves to the top of their little home and made their Chrysalis'. WOW...so very cool and miraculous to watch them in this process. What a great journey they go through!

It is time to take them from their little home and transport them into their bigger home.

We always hire Geoff for these more delicate operations!

How often do you see this???? Amazing or what?

New spacious home for the soon to be painted butterflies!

Our Caterpillars are getting SO BIG!!

It has been AMAZING to watch these little guys grow! We are able to see so much more detail now and it has been SO FUN! We are very anxious to see the Chrysalis stage!

Little Larvae have arrived!

Today a very exciting package arrived from the UPS truck...a little container containing 5 little larvae...soon to be 5 beautiful Painted Lady butterflies. Over the next 3 week we will watch the larvae grow, spin their cocoons (become chrysalis'), and make the amazing transformation into beautiful butterflies.

The 5 little caterpillars (you can only see one of them in the picture) are very cute!

Our little chicks are hatching!

Can you believe this? Right in the little bush in our own back yard we get to observe the day by day growth of these little chicks...How very cool it has been to watch them grow! Three of the chicks have hatched and are cute little "pink puff balls". We're waiting for the other two to make their appearance.

This is the anxious Father, a red-winged Black bird, watching us from above. He always twitters and tweets and squeaks when we get close to his nest.

Famous People we look like

There have been many times people have told us we look like a certain famous person...here are the most frequent comments...

People think Geoff looks like Steve Burns from Blues Clues. His most often comparison is with Matt Lauer from the Today Show.
Many have often said I look like Martina McBride (I got that comment a lot when I had short hair), and Melissa Gilbert. I think when people made the latter comparison, they were thinking of Little House on the Prairie!
Nobody has said that Justin reminds them of the Pizza Hut Noid, but I have often thought that his facial expressions are "vivid & animated" like the Noid's. (The Noid used to be my FAVORITE character back in the day...I thought he was so cute and absolutely hilarious...just like Justin!) And of course Justin NEVER escapes the comment that he looks JUST LIKE his dad!
And Max, well he reminds me so much of Gromit, on Wallace and Gromit! Again, it's the facial expressions. I've been trying for months to capture some of his "gromit" expressions on camera, but have never retrieved my camera in time. His "concerned/distressed" look is an exact duplicate.

Who do people say you look like?
